How should I specify another version of Python 3?
Currently the best way to do this is by using a conda environment.yml
file and setting the language to whichever version of Python you like.

No, you can't.
If you pass the --debug flag to repo2docker, it outputs the intermediate
Dockerfile that is used to build the docker image. While it is tempting to copy
this as a base for your own Dockerfile, that is not supported & in most cases
will not work. The --debug output is just our intermediate generated
Dockerfile, and is meant to be built in
a very specific way.
Hence the output of --debug can not be built with a normal docker build -t .
or similar traditional docker command.

How do I set environment variables?
