I am not sure I can help much...

Acc. to Dworzaczek (who follows Baumgarten on the Rurikides) she was
and unnamed concubine.

That's correct.

According to K.G. Windisch, _Kurzgefasste Geschichte der Ungarn_ (Bresslau,
1784), Synadene's mother was a sister of the Byzantine Emperor Nikeforos III
Botoniates. This is repeated in M.D. Sturdza, _Dictionnaire historique et
genealogique des grandes familles de Grece, d'Albanie et de Constantinople_
(Paris, 1983, p. 425), with the additional statement that Nikeforos wanted to
make the Hungarian queen's brother his heir. Note that "Synadene" is merely
the Greek feminine form of the surname "Synadenos" and does not appear to
have been the queen's real Christian name, which seems to be unknown (see
Janos Bak, "Roles and Functions of Queens in Arpadian and Angevin Hungary
[1000-1386 A.D.]," in _Medieval Queenship_, ed. J.C. Parsons (New York,
1993), p. 23).
I have no data on Nikeforod Botoniates' forebears.

The Premyslava marriage is the result of confusion with his brother
Ladislav, her actual husband, who was wrongly assinged as father of
Andrew and Bela.

I am assuming that 68 Samuel is the Bulgarian King of that name. If so
then the link through his mother to the old tsars is something I had not
seen before.

As I said, it comes from _Slownik starozytnosci slowianskich_,
vol. 1, part 2, table IV. The source is given as:
V.N. Zlatarski, I. Dujcev, _Imiennik bulgarskich knjazjej_.
And... there is a question mark like this:
Nicolaos Comes
x Ripsimia, c. cara Symeona?
where "c. cara" means "d. of tsar".
