Answer 1

Try this:

using (WordprocessingDocument myDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open("yourDocPath", true))
{
    var sdtElements = myDoc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtElement>();
    var contentControlsWithComboBoxes = sdtElements.Where(x => x.SdtProperties.Elements<SdtContentComboBox>().Any());

    var contentRuns =
        contentControlsWithComboBoxes.Select(x => x.Elements<SdtContentRun>());
    var selectedValues  = contentRuns.Select(x => x.FirstOrDefault().InnerText); // Your selected combobox values 

}
