Just going to number because it's easier:
1. It's not really arbitrary (insofar as it's all made up and theoretical), and the Lutece twins were dead which allowed them to go anywhere.
2. The Lutece twins build it: "The Siphon is the device specifically designed by Chief Scientists Rosalind and Robert Lutece to limit the extent of Elizabeth's powers, acting as an inhibitor to keep her under control. There are multiple functioning Siphons in Columbia, found in certain locations that Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth go through over the course of the game."
3. See 2, same thing and the other ones can project her power that's stored by the Siphon.
4. Elizabeth was already outside the realities and ending Booker meant Comstock never came to be anywhere. Easier solution, taking her younger self really doesn't do much but rob Comstock of taking her but he still exists.
5. They already knew who he was, there was no point in hiding his hand.
6. People did use them, more should have but that seems like something they skimped on. Firemen, crow guys, etc.
7. The point of Songbird is well explained as he is Elizabeth's protector and jailor essentially. He was underused for sure, but they do explain his purpose.
8. Why they go to rapture is explained in the DLC, and in the game ending. Alternate realities of a city, a man, etc. It's basically a direct parallel to Columbia.
9. Genetic lock wasn't in place until the civil war began toward the end of BAS 2. Alternatively it's a different version of rapture, it's not the exact same as Bioshock 1 and 2.
10. The retrieve the weapons section was ostensibly to switch realities, narrative wise.
11. What was she trying to accomplish? She wanted Comstock gone, that's what she did.
12. I don't know what retcons you're referring to exactly.
