It is contention based RACH, In msg3 UE will send MAC-CRNTI control element to make contention resolve.

Both contention based and free rach are possible in case of UL unsynchronized.
If ue have UL unsynchronized and want to send data in UL then ue will perform contention based rach.

If ue is in UL unsynchronized and eNodeB want to schedule data in DL then eNodeB first send the pdcch order to ue. After getting pdcch order, ue will perform rach. This rach can be contention based or free. If eNodeB sends rach preamble in pdcch order then ue performs contention free rach otherwise ue performs contention based rach.

UE performs both types of RACH but one at a time depending on the scenario. In handover case it performs contention free RACH if target enodeb instructs else it go ahead with contention based RACH.

I don't know the complete use of CQI at eNodeB. Does it impact only downlink scheduling parameters or also considered while granting uplink resources ?

Handover RACH will be initiated as Contention free, RNTI will be included in Mobility info. But while doing RACH What will be the RNTI value included in RAR? Will this be same as Mobility RNTI?

This is not a usual case. Assume an eNodeB has multiple bearers (GBR and non-GBR) with the UE, eNodeB enforces subscribed downlink data rate by using the different scheduling algorithm. Can eNodeB reject the uplink grant assuming UE is crossing its subscribed limit ?
