Answer 1

There might be 2 parts to your problem: I had similar issue. After adding the property it wasn´t showing. I have triggered a site re-crawl (Site Settings--> Search and offline...--> Re-crawl this site) and I got the property (the automated one)

Here is second part of your issue, in SharePoint Online For a property to be viable refiner your need to map it to one of the RefinableStringsXX pre-created Managed Properties (again trigger re-crawl) and use this in your filter

Please note that depending on size of your site it can take up to 24 hours for index to be fully updated.
