does it matter if i'm working with dumbells only while cutting?

No. Just make many repetitions and get a good sweat / heart pump going.

well, unless your legs are really weak, usually dbs allow u to hold less weight, so basically stops you from making progress

if you can hold the weight you'd normally use with a bar, then its np

he is talking of how you can only hold so many pounds in your hands with DBs so squatting any normal weight would be hard.

I couldnt squat with 125lb dumbells (250 with barbell/regular squatting) but can max 400+ for example

Coming from a fat guy, ive been losing alot of weight by doing as that guy^ said

keep up heartrate, dont go for HUGE weights all the time, keep reps high and keep heart going and you'll lose weight! GL!

You're right. Front squat weight = back squat weight.

Work on time under tension. That is the most important part. The whole "better stretch with dumbbells" is negligible. Just work your compounds first and go from there.
