What can visual observations of pi-bonding MOs explain about LCAO expansion coefficients?
I've thought that in N2, its symmetric so the expansion coefficients would be equal from the pi-bonding MO
Yes, that's right; symmetric molecules have symmetric MOs which have symmetric coefficients ...

What does the χ (chi) symbol represent in a Slater determinant?
I think maybe there is some confusion in terminology. Maybe these notes will help you:
When we take spin into account, we combine the spatial orbital of the ith electron $ \psi_i(\mathbf{r}) $ that ...
