Regarding the opening and dxc4, keep in mind that since one of the general opening rules is control of the center, trading the center pawn for the side pawn, especially when your opponent can recapture it with a piece immediately, is not a good move. That's why so many openings are built around trying to get an opponent to do it - Queen's Gambit, King's Gambit, Vienna Gambit, Sicilian Defense, etc. Even in London you have noticed how often c4/f4 are the recommended moves. So like with everything in chess there are exceptions but as a general rule, you shouldn't do it without concretely having a good reason to.
After you exchange in Caro-Kann, consider playing knight to c6 first and then pinning their knight with the bishop. That way if you exchange again and they take your bishop with the queen, pawn on d4 is unprotected and you can take it with the knight with tempo attack on the queen. Anyway, вітаю з перемогою :)

Never thought about it that way but it makes sense. Thanks.
