I just realized that I don't think I saw Young Spock do the eyebrow-raise. Am I mistaken?

If you mean Quinto... he does it right after Pike tells him to be careful with the 'brandnew' Enterprise.

PHEW!
I was scared maybe the guy couldn't do it.
That settles it, gotta see that flick again.

We never actually hear Uhura say "Hailing frequencies open", do we? I certainly never caught it in three viewings and i was bummed about that.
Yeah, this was a great choice and likely made by Pine rather than having been put in the script. It made me smile when I saw it the first time.

McCoy: "A little suffering is good for the soul."
The whole Kobyashi Maru sequence, right down to the TOS bridge sounds..
TOS communicators on the Kelvin.
The Kelvin Shuttlecraft design..
Redshirt death.
Spock's definition of the word "fine."
The Yesteryear homage.
The continuation of the appearance of 47.
Scotty: "I'm givin' her all she's got!!"
The Enterprise rising in the dust like the nebula scene in TWOK.

I doubt that was Pine's idea. The apple thing is way too deliberate. The writers did their homework homage-wise.. Given the other homages, I am sure this was scripted. This movie also took place during a writers' strike. The film was shot as written.
Picard manuver? Is that a tunic straightening? If so, watch the radiation chamber sequence with Kirk in TWOK again.
Symmetry.
Edit: Oops. Shoulda read the whole thread, someone already mentioned that!
Nero Death Experience.
Maybe, but not necessarily. Actors would be able to ad-lib (if allowed by the director), directors constantly change lines here and there. JJ didn't ("maybe") because he's also a member of the WGA.
Yep, I remember.
Many of the good ones have already been mentioned:
Kirk eating the apple during the Kobayashi Maru simulation.
Karl Urban's entire performance.
Captain Pike in a wheelchair, although thankfully in far better shape than he was in "The Menagerie."
Kirk making out with a green woman, although she seemed far less malevolent than the Orion women on Enterprise. For one thing, Uhura wasn't constantly incapacitated by headaches.
"Cardassian Sunrises." Although I kinda wish they'd changed it to "Sumerian Sunsets," the drink from "Profit & Loss" that Quark's ex-girlfriend stopped drinking "because they remind me of you."
The references to Admiral Archer's beagle. Although it kinda makes Scotty a jackass now. He killed Porthos Jr.! (This is worse than when Chef tried to turn him into chili.)

A nod that i liked, or sort of a prequel, if you may, would be Kirk climbing up the hole on the ice planet...(and all the other times he hangs by his fingertips in this movie).....reminded me very much of Star Trek V, in the beginning where he is climbing El Capitan.
after all the times he clung by his fingertips in this movie i guess he figured he was good at it and might as well go climb mountains!

The appearance shuttle fly over of Enterprise, takes the same path as the travel pod in TMP.
"Punch it", and the Enterprise goes nowhere, just like the Falcon in Empire Strikes Back.
Just about every homage I liked, a lot of them have been mentioned already.
The tribble
Spock giving Scotty the formula, just like Scotty did in ST4.
Kirk's last orders to Sulu before beaming over to the Narada. Pine's whole performance reminded me of Shatner in that scene.
I really liked the scene between old Spock and Kirk.
