>Why did the Ottomans seem to prioritize annexing Caucuses land in WWI
They didn't, it was just the only place they could go on the offensive.
>rather than retaking Arabia or Egypt from the British
Arabia wasn't ever taken by the British. Egypt had the Suez and British numerical superiority protecting it.
