There are (at least) two problems with your code: first of all, if you define a variable inside the xsl:when then you can't use it outside of the element.
And furthermore you seem to expect that it is possible to construct an XPath expression in a string variable and then evaluate that somewhere as an XPath expression. That is not possible with pure XPath, neither in XPath 1.0 nor in XPath 2.0.
You will need to look into extension functions of the XSLT processor you use if you think really need that.
