This behaviour is called Element binding : [Element Binding in Revit](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/element-binding-in-revit/31612)  
I will look if it is of interest to integrate it into my custom node.

For the other questions about the OOTB \* Dimension.ByElement \* node, I don’t know the details of how it works and these limitations.  
The node code must be on the Dynamo github.
