Answer 1

First of all, you have to understand how elsa loading context work.

when you enter the type of your workflow context it automatically make loading for your workflow Context with null value in context Id.

so you can not access your Workflow Context so what should you do?

you have first to access your HTTP Endpoint body to get your the information that you want.

using JS syntax

input.Body.Id

then you have to reload your workflow context in the next activity
