For now, I've come to the conclusion that my USB stick is not bootable. At least not on a Mac. It won't boot a Windows install, neither an OS X installation grey "reboot computer" screen loop. I did this.
Upgradeable
I formatted the MAC with Windows 7 exclusively and quickly realized that I was going to be unable to pull down firmware or driver updates from the Mac Software Update option. You can probably find new Bootcamp drivers out on the Internet and just install them on the Windows side, however, you will be out of luck for firmware updates and other updates only pushed to the Mac side.
I never use the Mac side anymore. Then, configure your book, so that it boots Windows only. Very dooable. The hard part may be getting your system to boot from the USB device which is why I always try to install from an optical disk. But once you clear those hurdles it's just a matter of partitioning your hard drive s and installing.
I can't say since I've never run into the need to wipe out a "foreign" partition like HFS when installing Windows. I always prepare my hard drive with a linux utility like GParted before installing anything. Anything less than Windows 7 and you will almost certainly have some more adjusting to do when you're all up and running. You probably will anyway now that I think about swap files and the like.

How to Clean Install macOS 10.13 High Sierra
So thanks. Well none of the above worked for me. New SSD invisible to all. Tried removing and encasing, then formatting on my other mac — that worked fine, then reinstalled. Invisible again. Disk Utility and Terminal do not see it.
