I have a basic doubt regarding the usage of 'however' and 'while' together. Both are words to signal contrast. And as per the basic rule in GMAT, we should avoid redundancy i.e. refrain using two words when one can do.
But in the below sentence 'however' and 'while' both are used to signal contrast. Could someone please help me get on the right track ?
However, while Woody Allen's caricature of Los Angeles in "Annie Hall" molders in the national imagination, New York and Los Angeles have proved that they have more in common than not.
My understanding is 'however' is used to signal contrast with the previous sentence whereas 'while/any-other-contrast-word' is used to signal contrast within the same sentence. Please correct me if I am wrong ?

Other sentence type of similar example:
Although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try. --- here again both 'although' and 'however' are used ? Please elucidate ? Or if possible could someone give me an online link to read about this stuff.
Many thanks!
