First one, you forgot to define one of the arcs, well actually you have defined it in a wrong way. This is the arc going from point 15 to point 8 that you have defined it from 15 to 0.
Second question, why are you using such an amount of blocks to create a cylinder? You can do it with less blocks. Look at your blockMeshDict modified to create your cylinder with the half of the blocks you used:
Try to use this file and you will get no errors!
