I want to ensure that follower and followee data is not publicly accessible to users on other instances, and possibly not available even to users on the local instance. How might I configure snac2 to ensure that visitors and bots can not discover followers and followees on the local server?

Hi. #snac does not publish the list of followers nor the list of accounts being followed; this is on purpose. That's why snac accounts always seem to have 0/0 contacts from the outside world.

Am I to understand then that this information is hidden so that a remote actor will be unable to discover it? I just want to be sure I understand if it is merely, 'unpublished' or totally restricted and immune to discovery. I want to ensure the latter in my instance.

These lists are restricted and not disclosed in any way (unless, say, a bug is discovered in the future that leaks that information, and that will be fixed as soon as possible).

The only way an external viewer can infer about your contacts is by watching you interact with others from the Fediverse itself, or by looking at you public timeline (which can also be hidden by marking your account as private).
