Is there a way to save on retroarch games after you exit Homebrew?

Most of the cores do save. Or do you mean the RetroArch settings?

After saving Click + and - then Close Content. Save should be saved.

I mean that you MUST pess + and - then go back and quit retroarch complet that the save get written to sd

Yeah RetroArch really is some kind of diva when it comes to that.
I'd recommend to always close content (from within the quick menu) every game and exit RetroArch when you're done playing.
If you end it by shutting down the Switch or pressing the home button it won't save anything.
That's because they wanted to make sure that if you mess around with RetroArch and something stops working (so you're not even able to quit RetroArch), it won't get saved.
To save changes made to RetroArch without quitting (just in case you know what you've did and want to save it) go to "configuration" in the main menu and hit "save configuration". After that you can even "kill" RetroArch by force shutting it down and everything's fine.

Clicking on both options don't do anything, is that alright?

As far as I know, no core from RetroArch has been compiled with LibNX at all. :/

I've tried testing some cores on Fusée Gelée 4.1.0...most of them kick back to the HBL automatically, but Snes9x 2010 generates an error screen upon launch.
Anyone else?

Yep, same here. Think we just have to wait, soon every single retroarch core will run on 4.1.0 and above too
