1. Documentation refer to CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_LIST (without 'S')

extract:
A similar set of variables exists ($CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_LIST$, $CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_NUM$, $CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_n$, and $FEATURE_UNINSTALL_LIST$). However, the CHOSEN_FEATURE set of variables can be consistently used by the installer author at install and uninstall by specifying features’ short names, which are not localizable and thus serve as consistent IDs no matter the locale in which the installer or uninstaller is running.

2. This is silent mode and so installer remains silent. Use console mode instead.

There are some limitations in IA regarding feature uninstall in silent mode, as per Flexera knowledge base, Maintenance Mode is not supported in silent mode. If you run the Maintenance Mode launcher in Silent mode, the launcher will uninstall the product.
