On 1. I'd recommend trying an accessibility testing took (such as CodedUI - lots of them out there) - to check if the issue is with how UIA is implemented with the we app or how Blue Prism interface is working.

On 2. Best practice object design taught by BP is to have many objects per application rather than one, I would therefore expect to to be creating objects for different screens and screen titles. If the issue you have is how to know which screen you are on to know what to attach to then it sounds like you are not controlling the application flow from the process level. You should design your flow so it always expects the same screen at the start and always leaves the same screen open at the end (i.e. a menu or main screen). If the automation starts working a case and it is not on the expected screen than exception handling should restart the app and get back to that known screen.

Could you please be more specific about the solution you posted? How should I check with said app( like CodedUI) ?

This issue does not just affect Blue Prism and has to be fixed in Chromium. Details: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1359955
