Answer 1

In Nginx regex match beats prefix match. So this directive is considered a better match for anything ending gif etc
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$ { expires 30d; }
than this one
location /phpmyadmin {
So your images all get processed by the top location directive, even the ones beginning /phpmyadmin, and the first directive has a different root directory to your phpmyadmin location so Nginx can't find the files in there
