Am I understanding this correctly? Even though the limited API is supposed to work on all CPython versions supporting the numbered API, I cannot do the compiling using a newer version (say 3.5) or it won't work with older ones (3.3, 3.4)?

Correct. I have a pull request on wheel that does just that, and the next version of pip will be ready for it.

I'm not sure how to interpret PEP 425 when it comes to packages containing C extension modules that use the limited Python API (PEP 384).

The Python v3.4 version of the limited API is used so should the compatibility tag be...

cp34-abi3-*

That would mean that the 'cp34' Python tag would have to be interpreted as a minimum (rather than exact) requirement.

Grateful for any clarification.
