Problem #3:This is not something dnf can do anything about. Bash handles the globbing and passes the filenames to dnf. That's why you should quote them. Dnf doesn't know that you were using wildcards unless the glob doesn't match any filenames in which case bash will pass it on. Once "vmlinuz" is on the command line to dnf, it can't know that you didn't mean that to be a package name.
When running from say the /boot directory the same dnf command above:
# dnf update kd*, kf*, q*, per*, pyt*, u*, v*, x* y*, z*
dnf reports cannot install package inityada, cannot install package vmliyada,
.... It ought to be smart enough not to try to install local files that are
not installation package files (e.g., those ending in .rpm or any other type
it might understand and support).
More specifically, the command should be:
# dnf update 'kd*' 'kf*' 'q*' 'per*' 'pyt*' 'u*' 'v*' 'x*' 'y*' 'z*'
or you can backslash-escape each asterisk. On fish shell for example, commands like these will simply fail if you forget to escape wildcards that are not actually meant for the shell.
