I chose the nested macro approach.

I implemented one iterative macro - Sieve of Eratosthenes to find all prime numbers within range 2 - 2*Number

Then finding Prime Number closest to Number is easy.

Attached is my solution.  I created an app that takes a number and finds the closest prime above and below the given number.  I'm using a Python node to do the heavy lifting. 

 

The result looks like this:
