Two different issues that while apparently related need separate consideration. Re the copyright finding, does the US copyright office have standing to make such a determination? Presumably not since various claims about AI and copyright are before the courts. Why did they write this finding?

Given that the issue at hand is related to potential misuse of copyright protected material, it seems totally reasonable for the copyright office to investigate and potentially act to reconcile the issue.

Sure the courts may find its out of their jurisdiction, but they should act as they see fit and let the courts settle that later.
