"why does it understand japanese"
that is a mystery that is never going to get answered isnt it

Considering the whole premise is about language and communication, it has to be important and explained at some point.

Why everyone calls this baby griffin a dragon if it is clearly not a baby dragon?

Because it's called a dragon on the title page

The baby dragon is on the cover too. Among the most eye-catching things on the cover, I think the only thing missing is the "unknown monument."

Yeah, right next to the "torch frame".

It is not a dragon

Dragons are honestly pretty loose in concept, and this one seems somewhat similar to a Sumerian dragon. Those have scaly, bird-like hind limbs and lion-like forelimbs. They also sometimes (but not always) have feathered wings, just like this new creature.
