1)Does it mean “lack of” as in insomnia?
It’s not on this site know: https://examples.yourdictionary.com/reference/examples/medical-suffix-meanings.html (Your Dictionary, medical suffix, Google) I don’t find it there.
2)What the other medical conditions that end in emnia or omnia imnia amnia?

You cut off the suffix. It’s actually ”-somnia” which refers to sleep.

Not sure what the other suffixes are for (what words you are thinking of), but you may be cutting those off incorrectly as well.

I don’t know all the medical terms out there that end in other consonants and then then a or e or i as in timnia, kemnia ... I’m not sure even the experts could say that there aren’t any. They could only list of list of words.

…I guess the OP says “omnia” not other “mnia“s, so I see your point.
