1. selecting a portion of a query it just runs whathever is on the pad not only the selected one

Our rebuilt IDE, currently in beta, resolves this! You can sign up to join the beta here About the dbt Cloud IDE | dbt Developer Hub

2. if you use a jinja macro and use – to comment it out still it’s parsed in compile and it screw the query

You can’t comment out a Jinja command with a SQL -- comment. See this:

Jinja context should be commented out with {# … #}
