Mobins,

Greetings!

1) As I understand, if the appeared textbox is not changing the context;
for example, it is not changing the process, you don't need to mention. If
appeared text box is causing change in the process then you should mention
it clearly.
2) For collapsible panel - you can mention the description along with the
control. If this control is common in whole application , you can add
description in help section.

Let us know if anyone think otherwise.

Regards,
Mohit Verma
