I activated <Decode> to play a Digimon when this card's DP became 0 and it would be deleted, then I activated <Evade>, and it was prevented from being deleted. If this card's DP is still 0 after that and it would be deleted, can I activate <Decode> again?
Yes, you can. When this card's DP becomes 0 and it would be deleted by a rule check, its <Evade> and <Decode> will trigger simultaneously. You can activate <Decode>, play a Digimon, activate <Evade>, prevent the deletion, then activate this card's <Decode> again when it would be deleted by the next rule check. If the played Digimon has [On Play] effects, once all processing has been resolved for the rule checks, those [On Play] effects will trigger simultaneously.

If text reads "XX with AA or BB," do both AA and BB have to be on XX?
Yes, both have to be on XX. For example, if text reads "level 4 or lower Digimon card with the [CS] trait or is yellow or black," it refers to a level 4 or lower Digimon card that has the [CS] trait or a level 4 or lower Digimon card that is yellow or black.
