The code is correct.  The doc string says:

    calendar-nth-named-day is a compiled Lisp function in `calendar'.
    (calendar-nth-named-day N DAYNAME MONTH YEAR &optional DAY)

    The date of Nth DAYNAME in MONTH, YEAR before/after optional DAY.
    A DAYNAME of 0 means Sunday, 1 means Monday, and so on.  If N<0,
    return the Nth DAYNAME before MONTH DAY, YEAR (inclusive).
    If N>0, return the Nth DAYNAME after MONTH DAY, YEAR (inclusive).

    If DAY is omitted, it defaults to 1 if N>0, and MONTH's last day otherwise.

Since your first example has a "2" as the optional parameter, you are
asking for the first Sunday on or after April 2.
