No, that is not "literally" what he said. He literally said what is written in the spell description, except "cave" instead of "library."
Games have rules. The dragon could not reach the wizard and breathe that round.

Regarding the "forced movement" discussion, I don't think there is anything in the rules about that.
Being moved (pushed, gust of wind, Thunderwave etc) does not cause an AOO, moving (as in using your own movement does). I think the rules are pretty clear on this.
I think where forced movement comes up is the 2014 Booming Blade Cantrip and "willingly moves", I don't know of anything else that aribitrates on whether the movement is willing or unwilling/forced.

You are correct. A grappled creature has disadvantage to attack a creature other than the grappler, but there are no bonuses or penalties to being attacked unless the grappler has the Grappler feat, in which case they do have advantage (but not anyone else).

Good. Nice to know some things weren't changed to make them super easy/powerful in 2024.
Here is what the 2024/5.2 SRD says:
"Opportunity Attacks
You can make an Opportunity Attack when a creature
that you can see leaves your reach using its
action, its Bonus Action, its Reaction, or one of its
speeds. To make the Opportunity Attack, take a Reaction
to make one melee attack with a weapon or
an Unarmed Strike against the provoking creature.
The attack occurs right before the creature leaves
your reach."
Since Dissonant Whispers requires the creature to move using its own speed, it seems to qualify. If you pushed or pulled an enmy with eldricht blast or thorn whip, it would not qualify.

So, Dragonbane?
Again, Rule Zero saves the day here. In a world where a Suggestion spell can make your driver go truffle hunting for eight hours straight, leaving you stranded in your finest silks (?), it's pretty reasonable to have a Dispel Magic trap placed here and there. Which doesn't have to be in the DM's notes to "exist."
I generally don't use "Rule Zero" as a tool to undermine the players or compensate for bad die rolls or -- if we are playing RAW with intent -- to fix rules that kind of suck. It is effectively cheating and I don't like it.

Yes. What's good for the goose...
If you're playing your NPCs true to character this simply should not be an issue, and ideally the players have been well warned about this ahead of time.
I have never understood the idea of wanting to start a arms race with the players.
