Answer 1

I see some potential issues with the getItem task when compared to AWS documentation.
I think the Key field needs to be S.$ similar to what you have in your putItem task.
There is no ResultPath attribute to tell the state machine where to put the results.
Your path may not be correct, try $.data.Email
"DynamoDB GetItem": {
"Type": "Task",
"Resource": "arn:aws:states:::dynamodb:getItem",
"Parameters": {
"TableName": "KeshavDev",
"Key": {
"Email": {
"S.$": "$.data.Email"
}
}
},
"ResultPath": "$.DynamoDB",
"End": true
},
To be honest, I'm not sure if one of all of these are contributing to the validation error those are some things to experiment with.
On another note, there are some open source validators for Amazon State Language but for this case, they were not very helpful and said that your code was valid.

Answer 2

its working, above JD D mentoned steps and also by adding both key in step function definition.
DynamoDb have two key.
primary partition key
primary sort key
