I have these two issues. I can fix one of them but not the other.
Can’t you just grab the left handle of the hairpin with the mouse and drag it to the right, into the next bar? Works for me.
(You won’t see the handle move until you actually get to the next bar.)

Ah, yes that works. Thanks, Aaron!
I thought it was stuck since it didn’t move when I grabbed it. I seem to remember having seen a movie about this and that you need to be in Engrave mode to make fine adjustments. But since the two measures are on different pages, that made it difficult too.
When you’re dragging in this mode, I think the ends of the hairpin can only attach to notes, so as you drag, the end doesn’t move until you get to the next note. Same thing happens if you want to move one of the endpoints of a slur.
(It might be nice if the UI could indicate that something is going on here, maybe by moving a “shadow” endpoint and then snapping into focus at attachment points.)

That one is clearer since it’s not logical to place the end of it in between notes.
Yeah, “shadowed” hairpins would be nice, for beginners at least.
If you want the hairpin start on the second tied note (is that the problem ?), I think you can move the caret to this 2e note, then enter the hairpin, instead of selecting all before.

Yes exactly, and the procedure is, move the caret to the desired position (second note), invoke Dynamics pop over Shift-D, then >, then move forward with the Space Bar, until you reach desired end of hairpin, then finish with Enter. While hitting the Space Bar you will not see the hairpin, only after finishing with Enter.

Yes, that is how you could enter the hairpin from scratch just on the desired staff. But note in the OP that Tomas used a marquee selection to grab two staves and apply a hairpin on both of them. Once you’ve done that, I think you need to move the endpoint as described – or delete the hairpin and re-enter.
Using the marquee tool is not the best option here imho, especially as Dorico completely respected the selection. I myself would have probably just input the hairpin to the lower system and do a Paste Special “Copy to Staff Above”.

Can this be done simultaneously to all staves above? Like selecting all in vertical direction and then click the hairpin symbol.
I have setup short-keys for this.
So it is very fast to select an item, then just hit [Copy to Staff Above] as often as needed. I don’t need to select a region beforehand.
