Davy,
They are quite different. The "and" you refer to is "temporal anding" not "boolean and" (even if it is, it won't match nested implications). A temporal "and" gets satisfied if:
Both seq_q, seq_b start at the same time
The end time of this "composite sequence" is end time of last ending sequence. i.e. say:
seq_b and seq_a starts at clk_10
seq_a ends at clk_20
seq_b ends at clk_30
Then the composite sequence shall end at clk_30
A nested implication is just that - like a nested if in procedural code.
