I'm glad you liked my post, but keep in mind that i might be wrong about a few things here and there.

Now, i'll try to answer your questions.

"What is the thing with "See you later, Eren" dialogue about? It was stated twice in manga (at the begining and somewhere in the middle), what role does it play? Did Eren send this memory to himself personally?

The "See you later, Eren" moment has only been featured once in the entire series and that happened in the 13th page of the 1st chapter. I believe it is the moment of Eren's death, most likely the very last thing he sees before passing away. I don't know if Eren sent this memory to himself (probably he did, considering the nature of his powers). As for it's role, well, its there to foreshadow Eren's powers, his fate, time-travel in general.

''Also I have a feeling that I have missed the fact where in series we were given an explanation why Eren couldn't touch Historia instead of Zeke to gain his power. Did he see only one variant of future, where he gained his power using Zeke and didn't want to risk changing it? I don't really see any problem getting Founding Titan power by contact with Historia. ''

Eren needs to touch a titan with royal blood. Historia does have royal blood, but she is not a titan. Eren saw only one version of the future, because in Attack on Titan, there is only one future. There are no alternate timelines. It was shown in chapters 107/108 that Eren didn't want to use the Rumbling, even though he knew he would use it eventually. He tried to avoid the future he saw, but such a thing could not be accomplished, since there is only 1 version of events that's going to happen anyway.

''One interesting thing is about future reading Eren's ability. He can only see one variant of future, right? He saw only chain of events, which are happening in manga right now. However, maybe he tried to change this future till the last end? Going to Marley as a soldier and hoping for type of congress to free Eldians and give them their rights? Doesn't it suits his character better? Is he a type of freedomless character, who seats on his ass, in waiting for his destiny to come?''

You see, this is the contradiction. Eren is not really free. The moment he saw the future, he lost his free will. He tried to avoid the future he saw, which is only one and true, but in the end, all  of his choices led to that future becoming a reality. And then, at one point, i'm guessing the day he talked to Yelena, he gave in and accepted his destiny.
