1. It has never been confirmed it is the void dragon on mars (most likely just a shard in any case)

2. Admech doesn't venture near the Noctis Labyrinth. It's forbidden because it brings doooommm....

3. The Void Dragon will totally be happy to answer your questions even if it was there (being held captive for millenia definitely improves its mood :3) You might not even be able to communicate with it.

4. The Void Dragon is a C'tan that happens to have control over machines. It doesn't necessarily mean it knows how it does this, and that it's able to impart 'knowledge' on how it does so

5. There is a good reason for locking up tech. It can be corrupted by Chaos, too heretical in its ideas/methods, or simply something that the Admech has had experience with before and proven to be too dangerous (e.g. AI). In a real world example, say you were to find a box covered with random circuity of alien nature and is found to be emitting all kinds of weird rays and stuff. Would you open it and possibly screw over the world? For the admech, plain and simply no. Just shove it in a vault or into the nearest star where it can't hurt anything. They take the belief you can't lose what you never knew/had seriously.

6. Locking up dangerous technologies is a good thing. If they gave commanders access to them, the Imperium would've blown itself to smithereens with stupid actions (especially given how willing people on the Internet are to exterminatus whole systems for little gain - see Tyranid debate)
