Might this seem like a form of insider trading?

Not really, because I support insider trading. All trading is insider trading,
actually.

If LEGO has facilitated this process in defiance of its stated ordering limits,
then cleary they're at fault.  But what if the seller has found a
non-publicly-disclosed means of acquiring numerous copies of this set and has
simply made use of that means?  Supposing that this is the case, and presuming
that no illegal action has been taken, is it wrong for the seller to have done
so?

Nope. Assuming there's no breach of contract.

Out of curiosity, if the seller has these sets in hand (through legal means)
then what, if anything, can LEGO do about it?

Nothing. You, however, can do something about it, if you wish.
