All works ok. But when using the feature “Browse on Spotify” inside an
Artist on my local Artist list, sometime finds the Spotify contents and
sometimes not. I think this is due to the artist name tag. The Artist
name must be written exactly as is in Spotify. Is there any way to solve
this?

Unfortunately I have to rely on text matching, unless you happen to have an artist imported from Spotify already.

-If I use “Alan Parsons Project” as my Artist tag name “Browse on
Spotify” is empty. If I use “The Alan Parsons Project” it works ok.

I can probably tweak this to strip "the" and other well known from the mapping. I actually thought I already did this - but probably do so in other plugins where I'm facing similar issues.

-If I use “Bach” as my Artist tag name “Browse on Spotify” is empty.
If I use “Johann Sebastian Bach” it works ok.

Well, "smart" matching can only do a bit of guessing. "Bach" is just too different from "Johann Sebastian Bach" to match without a lot of context. I bet there are other artists called "bach".
