For the first issue, I would recommend reaching out to support team since it will need looking into your reports. For the second issue, why do you think values will persist in evars in Custom/Exit link calls?
Creating a segment dropdown with all the available values in a dimension is not supported. A dimension can have 1000s of values, so creating a dropdown with all those values are not possible.
Assuming you are trying to debug a mobile app, you may use Project Griffon to connect, inspect and and debug.See https://aep-sdks.gitbook.io/docs/beta/project-griffon.
Thanks for the details. I haven't come across such issue. This may be one-off, however, if you see it reoccurring with another Data Warehouse request, you may open a support ticket so that we can have a closer look.
