After several hours of trying to find the error that was making the compilation fail:
Undefined control sequence. \listoffigures
Resulted that this error has nothing to relate to figures, neither tables.
It seems that I have reached a section max number limit (yes, it seems incredible also for me): if add another \section{title} to any of the .tex files that are called in the project, the error of Undefined control sequence. will arise.
And, curiously, this max number of sections seems to be the number of sections that fit in a single page of the Table of Contents:
So, I have no idea how to deal with this.
I am stuck and I simply cannot add any more sections \section{title} to my .tex project.
Code in the main document (which calls other .tex files that are very simple and contain only commands for sectioning, tables, figures, and tikz pictures with captions):

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

By the way, this error has something to relate with the auxiliary files result of the compilation, because if get the error, and then I delete the sections that "exceed", I keep obtaining the same error. I need to erase all the auxiliary files, and then if I compile (respecting this apparent max number of sections in the .tex project), it works; but obviously I will need soon or later to add more sections.

You seem to be trying to create a function to get the current chaptername and put that in the footer. The function caused some problems. Also, the function already exists. It is called
\leftmark, which would in a report print the current chapter, and you also have\rightmarkwhich prints the current section. In an article these would respectively be the section and the subsection.Output
