1) 50lbs on each arm is more than sufficient for me. I'm 5'7" and 160lbs. My bicep, tricep, shoulder exercises are roughly 20-40lbs with 10-15 reps. My goal is to stay fit and develop/maintain muscle. I'm not a power lifter. 100lb total for squats is sufficient as well.
2) On switching between weights with the EXP, I found the adder weights to +/- 5 lbs to be cumbersome. Yes, it only takes 30 seconds, but it was inconvenient especially when I'm doing super-sets or drop sets. The non-expandable 50lb do not require the adder weight and increments by 5lbs . It was perfect in being able to switch between 25, 30, and 35 lbs within 2 seconds with the pin. I loved working out so much more because of this difference. All the ELITEs and EXP versions of powerblocks require adder weights to go to +/- 5lbs.
I did some research on adjustable dumbbells before deciding that powerblocks were the one for me. For me, it came down to durability and price, which Powerblock came out on top. The square shape didn't bother me at all and now I love the shape since it doesn't roll away. Not requiring a stand was a bonus. Here's a good YouTube video comparing the various adjustable dumbbells and ranking them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVmEgHM

Power blocks are supposedly indestructible (thus their long warranty which used to be lifetime I believe). Bow flex has a warning label on it saying caution, do not drop lol
The Bowflex dumbbells are wide so you might have trouble doing some exercises like Arnold Press. I bought the PowerBlock Elite USA dumbbells and thought they were a little big until I saw the Bowflex at Costco.
The Bowflex also have plastic gears which may not be durable enough for long term use and some also complained about the switching mechanism getting stuck from time to time.

Employer is offering $250 fitness reimbursement so this was timely.
EXP are expandable to 90. But to get there from 50 you need stage 2 and 3 expansion kits. For those who say 50 is enough, don't forget legs and shrugs.
Not sure. If you look at the listing on Amazon, some people say it is Nuobell, some say it isn't. No idea.
They're not the best but eBay has decent squat stands. I go by the basic rule of thumb of being able to squat my own bodyweight for reps. Bought plates at Walmart back when they were cheap. At 52, I don't feel the need to go beyond that.

Read the Amazon reviews. 23% 1 star ratings. The actual dumbbells aren't the quality swedish brand. Knockoffs
