Is there any error message or does it just stop?

Can you describe the flicker?
Many can be handled with this plugin:

Is this the same tape? Could there be a TC break there?

Avid wasn’t going to do mixed frame rates unless they could do it correctly. This means when you play out a 23.98 clip in a 30 frame timeline it won’t come out 2:2:2:4 like another package we know of.
And when you put a 30 frame clip in a 24 frame timeline, it doesn’t just drop every 5th frame.

You are talking about how you export, but not how it is imported. Avid can import a clip upper, lower, or progressive. If you render out upper, and the editor imports lower, you will have a problem. Same thing if you do it the other way.
Make sure you and the editor are using the exact same settings.

Did you set up a 720P 60 project?

Not sure I follow what you are looking for. Do you mean you captured clips that are too short? If so, you can recapture longer versions of the clips and delete the media from the shorter version. then relink the sequence.
But you say you could decompose the sequence with handles, which makes me believe you have longer clips than what you are using.
Because you can’t decompose with handles longer than the original master clip.

The best way is to move all the original tape captures and recapture them in Avid. You can do this with automatic duck by taking all the master clips and stringing them out in a timeline. Then automatic Duck that to Avid. When you do that, you bet a new bin with all the master clips in it which you can then recapture.
Since you have already recaptured, you have to do a little more work. First you need to understand how Avid relinks. It goes by source (tape name) and timecode. But, there is a little trick here in that you don’t see the entire tape name in most cases.
Avid adds the project name to the tape name when it is first captured. So even though you see tape #1, Avid sees tape #1-whatever it’s called project name. This is why you could have two tape #1s that don’t relink.
To make sure they are all seeing the same tape name, put all your recapture clips and the sequence in the same bin. Now go to the “set bin display” menu for that bin. Turn on “Sources” and “Show reference clips”
You will now see everything used in that sequence, along with all your recaptured clips. Now sort by tape name. Select all with the same tape name (All the tape #1s for example) and select modify. (Right click will get you there) In the pulldown menu select “set source”.
You will now see all the tape names in the project. If you se two or more of any tape name, that is because they have different project names attached to them. (You will now se the project name with the tape.) Now select the first tape #1 (per my above example) and say okay. You will have ot go through a few dialog boxes to make this stick.
Now if you select “relink” on your sequence, all the tape 1 clips will relink.

I would strongly recommend you invest in Automatic Duck.

Two options.
1: Send your 30 frame footage through a Terranex at a facility that handles frame conversions. It will be the cleanest method though expensive. You would really want to have a reel that is pared down to just the footage you are going to actually use with this method to save on cost. If you can go back to the original 720P to do the conversion that would be even better.
2: Capture your footage in a 60i project and use the Fluidmotion effect to convert as explained here:
