I’m sorry, but I do not have good answers to your questions.
Note that many students in Amsterdam are not at all interested in doing a PhD, and so the number of such students doing a PhD at UvA or a better institute may also not be that informative. But I do know one UvA master’s graduate who recently was admitted for a PhD in Cambridge (after he was rejected by Amsterdam itself—there’s probably lots of noise in these decisions).
