Would just like to check my understanding of お前の持ってる徽章のことで交渉がしたい

Am I correct that the のこと nominalizes "お前の持ってる徽章" and で is simply means 'with'
for 交渉がしたい

"With the talisman you have - I want to negotiate"

Double checking my understanding of のことで
This こと is not a nominalizer. Nominalization refers to turning a
verb/adjective into a noun. It looks like this:

  * 食べる to eat
  * 食べる **こと** eating
  * 青い blue
  * 青い **こと** blueness

お前の持ってる徽章 is already a noun phrase, and it doesn't have to be nominalized.
This ～のこと means "things about..." or "matter regarding...". Please see [What
is the こと in sentences such as
あなたのことが好きだ?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/2102/5010)

> お前の持ってる徽章 **のことで** 交渉がしたい。  
>  I want to negotiate with you **about/regarding** the insignia you have.
