Number of roots of a quadratic form over GF2

(I assume you mean roots over $\mathbb{F}_2$.) This was done by Carlitz in the paper "Gauss sums over finite fields of order $2^n$" (Acta Arith. 15, 247-265 (1969)). Let $r \ge 1$ be the rank of $A$ ( …

Number of solutions of quadratic equation from a perfect pairing over $\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb...

Your claim is never true for $n=1$, assuming nondegeneracy. This gives also many counterexamples for $n>1$ using Hensel's lemma. In Lidl and Niederreiter's book "Finite Fields", 2nd edition, Chapter 6 …
