Greeting Ramses.
Based on your questions, I can guess that you are a recent addition to the Omniverse. In which case, I am sorry that you have been drawn here. I will do what I can to assist you in your pursuit of understanding.
Simply put, I am not human. I do not share what would be considered normal emotional responses to most stimuli that other people would demonstrate. Things such as anger, jealousy, romance, and joy are all foreign concepts that I do not readily experience without at least some effort to abstract my standard thinking process.
A prime's ability to shape Omnilium into concrete matter and energy is enigmatic as ever, to almost all denizens of the Omniverse. I have a working hypothesis, however, that Omnilium represents 'potential' in its purest form. It is raw information that has no actual configuration, and therefore, through the application of sentient perception, inherently takes on the shape of what the person wielding it chooses it to become. How Omnilium comes to exist, or how it is carried inside of a prime's body, however, are unanswered mysteries.
My knowledge of Dracula is not comprehensive, but based on reports I've read from Darkshire and the surrounding lands of the Pale Moors, Dracula is a powerful creature known as a vampire, who is responsible for the manifestation of any number of dangerous creatures that now roam that verse. Again, the correlation between Dracula and the appearance of these abominations could be purely coincidental, but I choose to believe there is more to it than that.
'Dragon' is a widely varied term within the Omniverse. Though there are many creatures that fall under the required specifications for such a creature, the only true Dragons that exist are highly powerful, highly morphic creatures with powerful preternatural abilities. They are most common within the Ashen Steppes, my personal 'home' verse, and they come in many varieties of beast. I understand that, in your contextual universe, dragons may be purely mythical, but I would encourage you to dispel any such reservations of logic now that you live in this world. I am sure there are many denizens here that would find your own existence to be quite fantastical.
The title of 'prime' exclusively applies to the sentient beings who were summoned to the Omniverse by The Smiling One himself. This summoning gives them the ability to wield and shape Omnilium, as well as exceed their preexisting potential of power. It also means that, so long as they hold the interest of The Smiling One, they will be returned to the Nexus after being killed. There is no definitive way for identifying primes at first contact, but there are signs that you can look for. Extreme boldness in the face of danger is a good signifier, but traveling on one's own, demonstration of fantastic abilities, and other things that seem to be out of the context of a given area. Indeed, if someone seems like they don't fit in, they are most likely a prime.
The use of Omnilium is rather intuitive; all one has to do is to feel the power within themselves and envision what it is they want the Omnilium to become. Most people find that using hand gestures or other psychosomatic aids is beneficial to concentrating on this act. Creating even very simple items using Omnilium takes time, so do not give up if your creation does not manifest quickly.
I am aware that the possibility exists that there are certain universes where the removal or addition of information may not necessarily destroy that entire reality, but the fact remains that this was the case within my own universe. That may be only my world, but even a fraction of infinity is still infinity. As for exchanging information between two universes...that is hypothetically possible, but it would create an indefinite cycle of having to constantly feed information from a donor universe into a universe where the information was initially taken from. To me, this seems rather inefficient, and while I have a numerous doubts as to the quality of the Smiling One's character, I doubt he would be willing to put more effort than strictly necessary into summoning people to this place.
As for the rest of your queries into The Smiling One's methods, I can only offer you the solace of Occam's Razor. While Omni is indeed a powerful entity, I have no reason to believe that he is necessarily more powerful than other sovereign beings within other universes. I doubt they would be so willing to let Omni simply annihilate their realities uncontested.
Your critical thinking skills are quite astute, however. Perhaps you'd like to consider a place in the Institute?

And, we dream of home I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
