The epidermis primarily consists of keratinocytes[4] (proliferating basal and differentiated suprabasal), which comprise 90% of its cells. You are right. both are keratinocyte

And isn't smoking also a risk factor for RCC?

It is but RCC tends to present later in life (6th or 7th decade). In a 55 year old smoker, atherosclerosis of the renal artery is am much more common cause of bruits

Hypertension is also a risk factor of an atherosclerosis leading to more inflammation. Eventually dilation (aneurysm) might occur... if im wrong then ignore this

Renal Cell Carcinoma has a tendency to invade the Left Renal **Vein** (Pg 134, Pathoma 2018). Thus it has an association w/ obstructed drainage of the Left Spermatic Vein leading to a varicocele.
Renal artery stenosis is more commonly due to atherosclerosis (almost 85-90%) or fibromuscular dysplasia.

With RCC and renal vein invasion you would see B/L lower edema and venous collaterals in the abd wall (Uworld). Also he has a severe headache and confusion which are signs of a hypertensive emergency.

Ethambutol is associated with optic neuritis which can cause loss of visual acuity and red-green color blindness

On FA page 250, it is said that Isoniazid can also cause optic neuritis and color vision change. Sometimes it hurts if you know too much lol

Desmoglein: Component of desmosomes, which connect keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum - FA 2018, p.467, Pemphigus Vulgaris
By this I can only assume that they mean that desmoglein connects keratinocytes to EACH OTHER, hence why the other options connecting keratinocytes to other structures are incorrect
