Answer 1

It sounds like there's a bug in ADB's run-as command. According to this bug, 'run-as' failed. Could not set capabilities: Operation not permitted means Android Studio couldn't set elevated privs to read the contents of the app's directory.

Comments on the bug suggest Samsung regularly breaks the feature on their devices.

Answer 2

data/data Not Accessible

According to the Android Studio docs the data/data directory is not accessible in the Device File Explorer:

Note: Not all files on a hardware device are visible in the Device File Explorer. For example, in the data/data/ directory, entries corresponding to apps on the device that are not debuggable cannot be expanded in the Device File Explorer.
