What did you blast it with? Media?psi? Did you clean the surface well and pre-bake parts to reduce moisture in the metal ? If the surface profile isn't done correctly or product applied correctly then you are pissin in the wind. I would say from glancing at the picture u posted product is applied way to thick .

If that item was my shop is strip and do it correctly it seems you are new to cerakote. If you are under the impression that it won't scratch u are crazy nothing is scratch proof in the thin coat world I've never had one issue with cerakote

Yes because it can't dry therefore isn't curing properly.

Just redo it correctly

No that is wrong due to the fact top flashes off making a this sealed film where it doesn't cure correctly therefore u have a coating that is completely compromised

What gun are u spraying with and settings? Using thinner isn't a smart move either I only use non chlorinated brakekleen and acetone

What kinda media used to profile the surface? What is your blasting set up ? Small setups don't actually blast at a constant psi. And yes not properly coated parts will have different issues from bubbles to thin spots to who knows with your environment. Word of advice I never prep parts till I'm I'm committed to doing them from start to finish that's just asking for issues and if you aren't degreasing parts before and after blasting again u are asking for issues. I'm not trying to be rude but it sounds like you might be in over your head on this one I've used cerakote on anything from sunglass frames to semi engine blocks only issues I've had with it was something I did or or overlooked
