the onecolumn option not being output was a problem in the IEEEtran
layout. Fixed for the next version.
The other option, 12pt, is actually imported and output. It is just not
in the custom options field of the settings, but in the font settings
directly.

I am not too familiar with this, but from tex2lyx code it seems
\newtheorem is only removed from the user preamble if it is from the
texclass preamble section.
Furthermore, IEEEtran.layout provides the standard theorems module, so
AMS theorems module cannot be loaded (they are mutually exclusive).
I think the re-import will work if you remove from your preamble the
two \newtheorem definitions and the loading of amsthm, and keep the lyx
metacomments, i.e.
%% LyX 2.4.0~devel created this file. [...]
and
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
If you want to keep your specific setting with amsthm instead, a
workaround is to put to the preamble just before the two \newtheorem's:
\let\thm\@undefined
\let\lem\@undefined
\let\c at thm\@undefined

Fixed for the next version.

Thanks for the report and example file.
