Answer 1

looking at your code and at the documentation i think i figured out, i cannot reproduce to test but i will try to explain why isn't working:

From the doc:

from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
    try:
        element = WebDriverWait(driver,30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, Checkbox))

        driver.find_element_by_xpath(Checkbox).click()
    except TimeoutException as ex :
        
        *put here the "else" code, it will be execute if the wait ends with no Checkbox found so the WebDriver will Throw a TimeoutException*
