In the Mahabharata, Yudhisthir tells Abhimanyu that only Krishna, Arjun, Pradhyumna and Abhimanyu knew how to penetrate the chakravyuha. So there is the answer.

Of these, Arjun & Krishna were off to fight the Shamshaptakas, while Pradhyumna didn't participate in the war, so it ultimately fell on Abhimanyu 😭

I would agree with @lovesunshine that Ashwathama probably would have known the art of entering and exiting the Chakravyuh.

Yudhisthir was probably taking the names of the people on his side who knew who to enter & exit the Chakravyuh. Even though Yudhisthir did not take his name, Dronacharya obviously knew how to enter-exit the Chakravyuh, but he was in the opposite camp. It's also more than likely that Bheeshma also knew the art, but was already immobile. Just my POV.

NEXT : What is role of Parshuram in Mahabharat? 😊

He was the Guru for Bheeshma, Drona and Karna.

When Amba came to him asking for help, he went to Bheeshma to persuade him to marry Amba and when Bheeshma refused he and Bheeshma fought each other and in the end Parshuram could not defeat Bheeshma.

My question: What is common to the swayamvars of Draupadi and Lakshmanaa (the wife of Krishna; not Duryodhan's daughter) ?

Actually, it was both Kalindi AND Satya.

The 2 swayamvar's were quite identical - the contestant had to shoot a fish in the eye while looking at its image in the water. Only difference b/w the 2 was that in Draupadi's case, the fish could be seen both directly and via the reflection, whereas in Lakshmanaa's case, it was concealed from all sides, and could only be seen via reflection.

Capebuffalo, Pradhyumna was a non-participant in the Kurukshetra war, so Yudhisthir mentioned everybody living who was capable of penetrating it. In other words, even Bheeshma, Drona, Kripa, Ashwatthama, Karna & others were not capable of penetrating such a vyuha.

My next question: Which rishi cursed Duryodhan that his thighs would be smashed by Bhima in battle?

who is amba? 😊

One of the princesses of Kashi. She was in love w/ King Shalva, but Bheeshma abducted her and her 2 sisters Ambika & Ambalika for Vichitravirya. Her 2 sisters married him, but Bheeshma released her on her request, but Shalva refused to accept her, having lost to Bheeshma, & Bheeshma, due to his vow, refused to marry her. That started the enmity b/w Amba & Bheeshma, which ended w/ the defeat of Bheeshma.
