Power levels were mentioned in the movie but only for weaker characters like Paragus.

This Is completely up to one's mindset. There isn't any official power level for broly from dbs. I could tell you mine, but I don't garantee they you will be OK with my power levels

The characters that were given power levels in the movie are:

Paragus: 4200
Baby Broly: 920
Generic Saiyan sniper: 2,000
Beet: <920

It should be noted also that Paragus' PL was given when he was old (which could mean it was either higher in his prime, or lower, since he spent decades fighting for survival and honing his skills) and Broly's power was fluctuating.

Yes, Paragus was measured as an old man, and depending on how much age related degeneration and training and surviving he did, it could be higher or lower than 4200.

But no, Broly's reading of 920 wasn't when it was fluctuating related to his anger. He was scanned to be 920 when he was just chillin' eating alien spiders.

The scouter’s number can actually be read if you look at it. Broly’s power level was measured at 999,999 before the scouter stopped working. So all we know is base Broly while not fighting is at least 100k but most likely a lot more.

Wasn't 530'000 the highest number a scouter could measure? Freezer said that during the namecc saga or am I remembering wrong?

Frieza said his power level was 530,000. We don’t know how it was measured, it could have been a more powerful scouter or machine.

He never indicated that 530,000 was the highest a scouter could read, but rather suggests that his battle power in his second form was beyond what a machine could register (or at least that he never had it registered).
Freeza: "At any rate, my power is excessive. Perhaps I've overdone it... Kukkukku... Incidentally, if [my strength] were put into battle power, it would be over 1,000,000, surely..."

I remember Freezer's scouter exploding when trying to measure vegeta's strength when him and freerer were fighting on namecc, and in that instance Vegeta was ≥freezer

No, Vegeta was still probably weaker than first form Frieza at that point. Frieza only transformed because Vegeta asked him to.

They really seemed close in power in that instance

The whole thing with scouters exploding from high power levels, while it is dramatic and serves to emphasize the power of characters well, doesn't really fit with what we know about electronics and scientific measurement scales, even in-universe.

I’m only curious about what exactly the scouter measured when Planet Vegeta was destroyed? Was it the sum of all battle powers or the sum of all the readings?

Yeah, but Vegeta was noticeably tired after their exchange while Frieza wasn't, so Frieza definitely had the advantage at that point, though Vegeta's power should have been some what relative.

Frieza himself stated that his scouters can read up to 1.3 million in Resurrection 'F' (the movie). Vegeta was pretty close to Frieza's 530,000 - let's say 500,000 for sure and Frieza had transformed when he realized that Gohan and Krillin could step in for Vegeta and cause him troubles.

Frieza did not say that. He said that he could reach a power level of 1.3 million, not that scouters record up to 1.3 million. For all we know they have a machine meant for reading power levels scouters can’t. Or maybe they have a few expensive scouters that can read that high. But the ones in the Broly movie clearly hit their limit at 99,999. You can literally read the number on the screen and it only goes up to five figures.

Indeed, which means that even Ginyu would cause a scouter to blow up.
