To elaborate: the vars_plugin theoretically could be returned via a
specialized inventory plugin. It's more efficient to do so for small
numbers of hosts. But there are dangers - lots of accesses, if not lazily

This is not because of cwd at all, but because of the playbook basedir.

This may be useful, untested quick sketch though...
Take a look at the group_by parameter to select all hosts where a fact has
a certain value.
- hosts: all
tasks:
- group_by: key=ansible_system_vendor_{{ ansible_system_vendor }}
- hosts: ansible_system_vendor_HP
tasks:
- debug: msg
Not sure.
Try running with - (four v's) to get SSH debug info out of the system.

I don't feel the cwd should matter in most cases and it should not be
significant.
Ansible already looks for group_vars relative to the playbook dir, so
keeping your top level playbooks in the same directory is recommended.

You can try to set a condition on the whole role (you can use an empty
main.yml with an inmport: ... when: common_executed is defined) based
upon a fact/variable that you can define at the end of the common role,
thus if it has been executed once, it will be skipped afterwards.
