I think PDF exports come from the rendered view. If you switch to Reading view, you’ll see the same as your PDF export.

Could be a Markdown (Editing View)-> rendered (Reading View) misunderstanding.

Obsidian calculates subsequent list items and the export dialog repeats this feature to ensure correct and logical list formatting.

To get what you want (custom numbering) you should try to add an empty line between each numbering. This should preserve your custom lists

That doesn’t work. I decided to just use backslashes to cancel the effect, but it is a bit frustrating.
