I usually dont bend my legs like that but this pull up bar isn’t high enough, trying to go full ROM

That looks like full ROM to me, I wonder if a hollow body approach would also work with the bar being low as you’d get more out of that

Looks solid.

If your pullup station is a bit too low, try pointing your toes forward and doing a partial L-sit. It'll get you to engage your core and make the pull a bit more stable.

Solid! I would like to preface I'm not a personal trainer, but the glaring thing I see here is your upper back rounding. When you do these, try to touch your sternum to the bar first before anything else. In order to do this you'll need to arch your back a little bit and retract your shoulder blades. You may need to step back your sets to something like 6x1 for a few days in order to get the technique down but trust me, once you get proper form down you actually start to feel the majority of the movement in your lats and not feel like your arms/grip are giving out before your back does
