Thoughts?

Let's say button opens, well should I have a rigid 3bet range? Does it matter what happened last time villain was on the button? My point is there's so many factors that influence my decision, that I can't tell you how I play my range in any given spot, because we simply don't have all the information. Is this wrong? Is this retarded thought process? Should I ignore the dynamics between us and villain up to this point so that I can give an answer that you can give me a gold star for?

The "dynamic" and what happened the last time Villain opened are particularly over-rated pieces of information that should not change how you play very much at all once you've decided what you think their range is and estimated how you expect them to play it.

As far as "having all of the information" goes, you never have all of the information, and that doesn't keep you from making decisions about how you play your range any other time.

OP is a new player trying to get better by thinking about things that he hasn't really thought about before, and that was the point of his exercise. If you want to try to work through it yourself so that a group of people can compare ideas and share thoughts, that's awesome.
