I am looking to improve my programming skills with this question. I believe I am making a mistake placing a tikzpicture within a tikzpicture? Any suggestions how to make this better and more flexible so one can vary the output according to ones needs? This is exactly what I want but I want to improve the programming.

In this case, the simplest way is to replace the inner tikzpictures by scopes and implement the position by simple shifts.

usepackagetikz
begindocument
begincenter
begintikzpicture
beginscope[xshift=-3cm,scale=2]%,cap=round,>=latex]
coordinate [label=left:$B$] (B) at (0:0cm);
coordinate [label=above:$A$] (A) at (60:1.5cm);
coordinate [label=right:$C$] (C) at (20:1.8cm);
filldraw[fill=orange!50!white, draw=black] (B) -- node[above left] c (A) --
node[above right] b (C) -- node[below] a (B);
endscope
beginscope[xshift=3cm,scale=2]%,cap=round,>=latex]

filldraw[fill=orange!50!white, draw=black] (Y) -- node[above left] z (X) --
node[above right] y (Z) -- node[below] x (Y);
endscope
endtikzpicture
endcenter
enddocument
If you have the same thing and want to place it all over, use pics, but since these are only two triangles here with different labels, it is perhaps easier to use scopes. However, as you asked in the comments, here is the pics variant.
documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
tikzsetpics/.cd,
3angle/.style n args=6code=coordinate [label=left:$#2$] (B) at (0:0cm);
coordinate [label=above:$#1$] (A) at (60:1.5cm);
coordinate [label=right:$#3$] (C) at (20:1.8cm);
filldraw[fill=orange!50!white, draw=black] (B) -- node[midway,above left] #6 (A) --
node[midway,above right] #5 (C) -- node[midway,below] #4 (B);
begindocument
begincenter
begintikzpicture
pic[scale=2] at (-3,0) 3angle=ABCabc;
pic[scale=0.75] at (3,0) 3angle=XYZxyz;
endtikzpicture
endcenter
enddocument
Notice that one might be able to cook down the number of parameters to 3 if you always label the edge opposite a given corner by the lowercase letter.
