Nov 6, 2021 at 21:55 comment added Jason Starr The modified Question 1 is still false. Consider the Piene-Schlessinger Theorem and the Chow variety of cubic space curves.
Nov 6, 2021 at 21:34 comment added Jason Starr The modified Question 2 is still false. Consider the blowing up of the projective plane along the base locus of a very general pencil of plane cubics.

Fixed few issues that lead to the trivial answer.
Nov 6, 2021 at 9:48 comment added Jason Starr The first question about LCI singularities fails for $X$ equals to $\mathbb{P}^3$, for $r=0$, and for $d\geq 2$. The point is that the action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_d$ on the $d$-fold self-product $(\mathbb{P}^3)^d$ is not "unimodular", and thus the quotient as a symmetric product is not Gorenstein, much less LCI. The second question fails if $X$ is a smooth cubic surface: the cycle of $d$ times a line is "rigid" hence gives a connected component that is a point.
