Can you provide the full (setq org-capture-templates ...)
s-expression?
Did you tried this?
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("f" "The template description" table-line
(id ,some_variable)
"this is the template content"
:table-line-pos "II-1"
:immediate-finish t)))

Yes, it expects a string.

See above. The problem being, of course, that the capture template
for "f" will use some_variable *statically* -- if the value of the
some_variable variable changed after you evaluated the s-expression
(setq org-capture-templates ...) then the new value will not be
known.

What feature exactly? To allow a function here that would dynamically
set the id?

If you want to use a function ,some_variable will not work, check
,@ constructs in the Elisp manual.
