Answer 1

I resolved this issue by overriding the PromptOptions constructor, Thanks to ezequiel. I used PromptDialog.Choice to achieve it however I could also have done it with confirm. Here's what I did

    List<string> questions = new List<string>();
    questions.Add("Yes"); // Added yes option to prompt
    questions.Add("No"); // Added no option to prompt
    string QuestionPrompt = "Are you sure?";
    PromptOptions<string> options = new PromptOptions<string>(QuestionPrompt, "", "", questions, 1); // Overrided the PromptOptions Constructor.
   PromptDialog.Choice<string>(context, NextQuestionAsync, options);

You can just override the TooManyAttempts message by passing your own string in the PromptOptions constructor, which is later used here to display the message.

Also, have in mind that in the case of the TooManyAttempts exception, the way to handle it is in the try/catch of the ResumeAfter method (in this case your NextQuestionAsync method), surrounding the await and not in the caller method.
