How to explicitly add build.sbt folder path in scala metal

Open the root of your Scala project via VSCode, and Metals should detect your build.sbt and ask you if you want to load it. Otherwise you can do it explicitly from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and write "Metals Import Build"

Not sure how to do it via metals. But the way I do it, is to open sbt myself from the terminal, via sbt -jvm-debug 5005. Then I attach VSCode remote debugger. You'll have to install "Debugger for Java" VSCode plugin too.
