Regarding Khatu Shyam baba, I do not know. Maybe someone else can elaborate.
Regarding your affinity for the Dwarkadheesh form of the lord, its absolutely OK. We may be carring our sadhana from our past lives, as you know, any little sadhana done in a previous life is never destroyed with change of body. Therefore who knows what your sadhana was and why you have affinity for that form. Doesnt matter, since you are attracted to lord as Dwarkadheesh, please pray to Him in that form. Since you are saying you are in dasya bhava, then you should consider the lord, His associates and servants to be your master and serve everyone. You must serve the devotees of the lord thinkng yourself to be a servant.
Continue chanting 16 rounds minimum daily and whatever other service you are able to do and meditate on the lord's form, name, fame, pastimes.... He will keep showing you the path forward looking at the sincerity of your heart.
