So where did nina@technet.com come from?
I can certainly see a problem if the mailbox for helen@technet.com is
set to forward mail to a distribution group that has as a member the
mailbox assigned the address helen@technet.com!

No, it doesn't. It describes a forwarding loop:
=> helen => DL => helen => DL => helen => DL => . . .
>2. When i recreate the scenario (another employee Nina needs same forward to 4 device). I do same like earlier IT crew did. But I get error when i send to nina@technet.com. It arrives to any device adresse like peter.iphone@technet.com. Somehow i did
same AD and ex2010 grps like they did for helen. Helen seems getting mails to all her devices. Do i miss any setting for nina.

Just assign all the SMTP addresses to the same mailbox.
