Undo doesn't act on the selection, only on the actions, it's not a "rewind" functionality.

1. Selection before Ctrl+Z will not have importance after Ctrl+Z as user wanted to do Undo(started doing other work).
2. Things that comes off folder will get mixed with other bookmarks.
3. This behavior is also seen in Windows Explorer(File Browser).

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "Bookmark/folder(STR step1) that came-out from the folder".
You are adding something, likely it's selected at that point, then you select something else, and undo (that will remove the originally added thing). I don't understand what you expect to be selected then. Step 2 is an explicit operation, it should be considered valid in any case.
Can you attach a screenshot of the before/after situation?
Is this about selection in the Library left pane or right pane?
