Andromo's AdMob ad integration is very minimal/standard and follows their integration guidelines provided in their SDK. We're definitely not doing anything weird or non-standard such as altering or manipulating the targeting of ads. I don't even know how that could be done.
From a brief search, the only place I've seen references to "MODIFIED AD TARGETING" is in the context of AdSense ads shown on webpages. Are you showing any AdSense ads in your app?
Is this a relatively new app, or one that was possibly built a long time ago using AdMob's old SDK? What activity types and dashboard type are you including in your app?
The only way I could see navigation being a problem is if you're app is heavily Web/HTML based and it's referring to the navigation inside that content.
It might help us to see the application they're saying is in violation so we can see what they're basing this on. You can attach your app to a private support ticket, and we'll take a look.

Since they've disabled AdMob in your app, it's difficult to see which ones contain AdMob ads, but in general, you're not allowed to show AdMob banners and AdSense ads on the same page, so that's one potential issue but doesn't really explain that error text. Perhaps some of those pages are violating AdSense policies and since they're inside your app... That's just a guess though too.
Here's a link to a video from Google about the above policy and others:
As far as the navigation, I suspect they're saying that because of the fact that the web pages aren't really mobile friendly, so navigating on each of those could be difficult for users on a mobile device. I don't think they're referring to the dashboard or dropdown. They may be able to clarify on that though.
Definitely let us know if you receive additional info from them.
