Thinkpad X1 Carbon 9 gen worth it for 200 USD?

Do confirm the BIOS is not locked, and or its not locked to a company, but that's very cheap. You could pay well over twice that in Europe.

X1 Carbon G9 I7 or X1E Gen 2 I7

I think the X1E is a solid choice. More keyboard travel. The CPU is more powerful than the X1C9's, the dGPU is nice if you have use for it and WON'T shorten battery life if you don't use it.

Dual eGPU on old Dell Latitude 7420 (i5 1145G7)?

It should work in Linux. Windows can be challenging with error 12. I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 9 with same CPU and I can run 2 RTX 3090 eGPUs [build link].
