Rano works as both a noun and adverb - in this case it can just mean "in the morning"
How should one distinguish between situations that require "lub" and those that require "czy"?
Duolingo hack - use czy in questions, lub in answers.
Long answer:
If the question uses czy:
do you want sandwich or do you want an egg?
Chcesz kanapkę czy jajko?
I will give you one of this things , pick one.
There are two possible answers assumed A) egg B)sandwich
Chcesz kanapkę lub jajko?
Do you want something, I have sandwich and egg, do you want (sandwich or egg)?
there are three possible answers assumed, but four are acceptable: 1) no 2 ) yes egg 3) yes sandwich 4) yes both
Chcesz kanapkę albo jajko?
Do you want something?, I have sandwich and egg, do you want (sandwich or egg)? but you can have only one of those.
there are three possible answers assumed 1) no 2 ) yes egg 3) yes sandwich
I guess you meant "Ta odpowiedź nie jest jasna".
"odpowiadać" is the infinitive "to answer".
Can I say "Ranem..." the same way one of the previous sentences used "Latem" to mean "In the summer"?
I think it's usually "rankiem" (from "ranek"), but I guess it's a possibility as well. Added.

Could you have "Rano jem kanapki albo jajka" as you might only eat one of them for breakfast?
Yes, definitely. In fact most people don't really make any distinction between "lub" and "albo".
