A:
While you can certainly author dialogs that are specific to product removal, uninstallations started from the remove button in Add or Remove Programs (now Programs and Features) are run without the UI sequence, and thus will not show these dialogs. One common alternative is to set the ARPNOREMOVE property which then requires the end user to click Modify instead of Remove. The modify button starts maintenance, which does show your UI.

If you want to know what's happening at uninstall, take a verbose log. Then search for your custom action's name, and you can find out if it executed, or was skipped due to condition, or just doesn't show up. As far as %appdata%, just remember that you can remove only from the current user's %appdata% folder, so uninstall may not be the best time for this.
