The only place Bigcommerce can pull brand images is on the brands page itself. If you'd like the brands shown on other pages of the site you will need to find a different way to do it, such as creating your own panel with the HTML inside of it, requesting content through AJAX, or other methods.

I have made several metafields with the type as product, so I know they work, but in this section they don't show up for this link. I can hardcode the link to a specific product, but I want it to be dynamic using metafields. I'm using the palo alto theme.
and this is the result when I click the dynamic source button:
I'd rather leave any theme customization or coding as a last resort.
A link would take a metafield of type url but you are trying to add a metafield of type product. Type product stores the product object with all its data that's not what you need here if you just need to link to the product page.
Id just set up another metafield of type url and pop the url of the product in there.
I'm not familiar with where you are adding this in the Palo Alto theme but unless this is a section that appears on multiple pages, like product pages or blog pages, where you need to link to a different product on each page you may not need a metafield at all.
I am trying to add a small 'lockup' / promo to a page that loads information dynamically based on page.metafield information. Replacing images, video ID's etc. Which all works just fine.
My client is asking for a small area to display a product that relates to this dynamically changing content and I am struggling to come up with a good way to do this.
The current setup is that we have 30 pages with a set of 8 metafields each page. Each one of these pages must show a different , single product with an image, title, price, buy button and another button that links out to a partner site.
I can create snippet and load almost all of this info through metafields manually (price, title etc the client could just add to another metafield) but I would prefer to load a product to pull this info so it can be added to cart. Although I can add product data manually, I still don't actually know which product will get added to the cart, because I'm on a 'page' not a 'product'.
The products themselves are using a custom template that is different to the rest of the site so that seems like its not an option. The template for this content page is just 'page' but surely I can call the product object someway? If the client entered a product ID in the metafields, is there a way of pulling that IDs data easily?
Whatever you mean by pulling ID's, but there are a couple of ways of dealing with this. One, you have a Storefront API token, allowing you to freely and securely call Shopify with JS and get back all the data about the ID you're interested in. Or, you have an App installed in the store, in which case you can setup and callback an App Proxy, providing that ID, and getting back all the info you need. Lots of options!
I need to generate a URL link on each product page. Each URL needs to contain custom variables specific to that product.
Like so : www.example.com/{{keywords}}/{{productID}}
My understanding is that any custom variables must be saved as metaTags.
My logic to generate the URL is as follows
Create an Embedded App.
Display a dropdown list containing all products.
Display input fields for the user to populate with the text for "keywords" and "productID"
Save this information as Meta Tags so it can be accessible within the Liquid templeting.

How do I solve the following issues?
How do i save "keywords" and "productID" variables for each individual product.
How do I generate a URL with these variables and populate them on each product page?(I can do it manually through editing the theme but there has to be a way to do this programmatically)
You cannot generate an URL like:
www.example.com/{{keywords}}/{{productID}}
With Shopify you instead use
www.example.com/products/product-handle
And on that product page, you can do as you please with the product ID, and any metafields you choose to maintain and create.
In the image below, you can see I've managed to make a drop down menu in a Shopify store. The drop down menu contains some collections. My question is: when user clicks on "Men's" s/he's directed to a certain collection (right now: Walk shorts).
Is it possible that when user clicks on "Men's", s/he's presented with all the collections that you see in that drop down menu?
You can do this using tags.
Have all you product in those collection tagged with the tag "men", then simply have the top link to /collections/all/men

Charles is right, you can do this with tags.
I suggest taking a look at this article in the Shopify docs:
Creating subcategories of products. It explains how to create subcategories with tags and gives a few examples of how to display them on one page.
I'm trying to customize a product in the CategoryContent panel in BigCommerce. I want to change the markup for each product in the listing, but the markup for the entire product list is trapped in an uneditable blob :%%GLOBAL_CategoryProductListing%% (I'm getting really tired of these unchangable GLOBAL variables).
Is there any way around this so that I can put my own markup on each product in the list. I'm also open, reluctantly, to reconstruct the product list using the API, but I'm not sure how I can access the API from within a BigCommerce store. Is that possible?
I was able to identify Snippets/CategoryProductsItem.html as the file containing the markup for the individual items in a category list.
I hope this saves someone the time it took me to find the file.
The Snippets/CategoryProductsItem.html is the snippet used for grid category files. If you are using the list view, the file is Snippets/CategoryProductsItemList.html.
This file represents each product listing li. It acts as a template which loops through all the %%GLOBAL_CategoryProductListing%% information for this category. To add a feature to the category ProductList li add it to the Snippet, and it will be applied to each item.
Hope this helps.
