So what is your question? Is your question why is there a price difference between a custom request and a stock item?

Generally Its the same concept as buying a T-shirt from a store, if you want a generic one that should fit then you could pay less, if you wanted a tailor made shirt with your own design this should cost more. Or did I misunderstand the question?

Indeed there is a big price difference, an experienced character artist who makes custom work knows what their work is worth. There is much more than just making the character - knowledge takes time. Anatomy/style/color/technical constraints, then there is client feedback, rework, admin/emails etc. Much more work involved = higher price + experience + cost of tools + business costs etc.

To answer your second question, if you buy a stock model then you can customize it as you want if you have the skills obviously. Regarding copyright the model should be tagged as Royalty Free license type. If you have purchased a model that is Royalty Free and is actually an Editorial (Iron Man for example), then you can request your money back from CGTrader. Lots of artists create base meshes which you can use or there is plenty around online for free.

Yes these characters are marked as Royalty Free, which means you can use them without a copyright issue as long as its used as intended such as a video game/film etc.

Guidelines for Royalty Free Usage:

You can always contact the artist before you purchase if you want to double-check with them about details.

What I said about requesting your money back - if you have purchased a royalty free model and then find out it has been licensed incorrectly then you can ask CGTrader for your money back. Most people try to do the right thing however people do make mistakes and what not.
