I have not looked into detail at what you want to achieve, and I 
do not know if it is helping, but there are two examples you can look
at that could be more like what you want to achieve.

* in tp/init/book.pm the function book_convert_heading_command, 
  (most probably without the call to book_print_sub_toc)
* in tp/Texinfo/Convert/DocBook.pm, the conversion is achieved by
  a call to convert_document_sections inherited from 
  Texinfo::Convert::Converter which uses sections and not nodes as the
  primary units
