It's saying you probably tried to email your custom domain email alias from the same gmail that the inbox forwards to, so gmail will automagically delete the forwarded email. If you're trying to test if it works or not, use a different email account

For example, if you set up your-name@gmail.com as the destination address, do not send your test email from that same Gmail account. Send a test email to that destination address from another email account (for example, your-name@outlook.com).

I don't understand what you mean by that. That specific error is just because inboxes like gmail see that you sent the email out, and when they receive it back, they "deduplicate" the conversation and delete the duplicate incoming email.

You also can't send emails from your custom domain via email routing

No, it does not affect mails that you send to anyone else from your gmail account.

Email Routing only affects emails sent to the custom address you setup in your Dashboard. Nothing else is affected.
