Create a file texmfcnf.lua next to setuptex for example (that is: in
root of the installation) and set the variable there.
That is:
return {
content = {
variables = {
TEXMFCACHE = "/var/cache/context/texmf-cache",
},
},
}

No, reverting to the original value is expected. If you want to modify
some variables, just place texmfcnf.lua (or texmf.cnf) somewhere else
and only put the differences there. The allowed locations for
texmfcnf.lua are determined by the variable TEXMFCNF being set in
texk/kpathsea/texmf.cnf in luatex sources:
TEXMFCNF = {\

No changes that you make to texmf/, texmf-context/, texmf-modules/ or
texmf-yourplatform/ will ever be preserved. You need to use other
texmf trees for that (like texmf-local for example).
