I want to include boxes for mathematical examples in my book. To do this, I chose the so called 'colored boxes', divided them into an upper part (for the mathematical example) and a lower part (for its solution), was able to underlay both parts with different colors (for making it pretty), choose a pretty thin boxrule and finally managed to make the box breakable. I can even place the text for footnotes inside the box outside the box. Unfortunately, two strange things happen in this process:

 1. I put 2 footnotes in the box. Outside the box, however, both
    footnote texts are quoted with the same No. 2. A footnote text
    with No. 1 does not even exist.

You are using \footnotemark and \footnotetext. I tried this with basic LaTeX and both footnotes have 2. Obviously and apparently , these two commands cannot follow the numbers. Probably \footnotetext has to follow \footnotemark.

Try this in LaTeX and you will see all the footnote numbers are 3.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

    Testing footnotes. I'm writing something here to test \footnotemark several features. Testing the second \footnotemark and third \footnotemark.

    \footnotetext{First footnote}
    \footnotetext{Second footnote}
    \footnotetext{Third footnote}

\end{document}

But if you try this one, everything works fine:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

    Testing footnotes. I'm writing something here to test \footnotemark several features.
    \footnotetext{First footnote}

    Testing the second \footnotemark
    \footnotetext{Second footnote}

    and third \footnotemark.
    \footnotetext{Third footnote}

\end{document}

So, this has nothing to do with LyX. Why don't you use \footnote instead of \footnotemark and \footnotetext?

 1. I made the entire text in the collor box long enough, so there
    MUST be arise a page break. This puts the first footnote on the
    first page and the second on the second page of the box. Now the
    two footnote texts should be shown on the corresponding pages.
    But they won't, both are shown on the second page.

I am guessing that tcolorbox does not have an automatic page break as you would expect. I recommend you look at the manuals of tcolorbox and stackexchange pages such as this one <https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/186709/identify-tcolorbox-page-breaks> (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/186709/identify-tcolorbox-page-breaks)
