RE: Using a variable as an attribute name

You can not use @$attributeName

Instead try: 
        <xsl:variable name="attributeName" select="'@charstyname'"/>
         <xsl:variable name="before" select="preceding-sibling::*[1]"/>
  
        <xsl:when test="not( $before[$attributeName='Footnote'] )">
                [...]
        </xsl:when>

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Ismaël
