<xsl:variable name="Node">
<xsl:copy-of select="./*[local-name()=$NodeName]"/>
</xsl:variable>
You called the variable Node but it does not contain a node it contains
a result tree fragment consisting of a root node and an element node.
In XSLT 1 you can not query in to result tree fragmants.
You do not want a copy of the node in the result (which is what copy-of
gives you) you want the original node in the source.
So
<xsl:variable name="Node" select="./*[local-name()=$NodeName]"/>
