The URL `https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/1?cid=abc123` is not the right format for the `From URL` field. `https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/1?cid=abc123` goes to a **website** showing the calendar. When you open that in your browser, you will have the option of adding it to your own account. To use `From URL`, you need a different format of URL and I don't know what it is, but I know `https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/1?cid=abc123` is not the right format. Google's typically cryptic and ambiguous error message is actually due to an incorrect URL format. As a note, with `Make available to public` you will not be able to actually add the calendar. You will be able to see it with just the link, but when you try to add it you will be prompted to request permission from Account A.
