If i build a colony ship at a planet with race X on it and its different from the dominat race will race X be on the colony ship or will the dominate race? and what if there are multiple races present?

Also I'd like to see more events
Also would like to see some more options in diplomacy screen

it depends, not all races can colonize all environments until you research the proper tech so the colony ship will contain the pop than can colonize the destination. In case both can than the colony ship will have pop from race X. If you have multiple populations on the same planet than pop from the majority will be on board afaik.
This can be tested by building colony ships in these scenarios, the setup can be done via the editor.

As Data said - understand that later in the game, the colony ships can end up being built pretty much anywhere. I haven't had consistent results with my experiments. It SEEMS to choose the closest planet with a race that can colonize that type of planet (if you've studied the colonization type, then that means -ANY- planet over the 500m threshold).

And no, there's no way to control this on an empire level. The only way is tried and true "micromanagement". Build colony ships and send them there manually.
