Answer 1

My expectation is that you need to continue extracting the viewstate for each and every subsequent request, either copy the CSS Selector Extractor to be a child of the Manage Users request or just move it one level higher - in this case it will be applied to all Samplers which are at the same level (or "lower")

You can see all pre-defined and generated JMeter Variables with all their respective values using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination.
