Well yeah when the wall was built quite a few humans and spirits were still on the demon side, so they were basically stuck. Humans intergrated into the society while spirits mostly went into hiding. The Kanon thing is a LONG explanation and can get confusing, but no they can't choose what to reincarnate as. Also it works differently for different people which was also a long convoluted explanation in the light novel. But basically some people are different and have no memories, while others like Arnos return as exactly the same person with all their memories.

Think of it like this in modern terms some people's DNA would be different since they are different people now, but Arnos' DNA is exactly the same as it was 2000 years ago. I think this was how the author was able to justify saying that technically Arnos is not biologically related to his modern time parents, which is how he was able to excuse the incest haters and make it a sort of pseudo-incest situation when Arnos got into a romantic relationship with his mother Izabella after his father died a third time.
