Are you sure the px_size and py_size is equal to the group order? The x
and y values must be padded to the group order with 0 (at the start
because the values need to be BE).

You do not need to call i2d_ECDSA_SIG() twice. Just assign NULL to
der_iter and i2d_ECDSA_SIG(tmp_ecdsa_sig, &der_iter) call will allocate
the buffer for the encoded signature for you.

No, that should be correct. The signature as produced or verified by
the EVP_DigestSignFinal or EVP_DigestVerifyFinal should be in the DER
encoding of the ECDSA_SIG. So you have that correct.
I do not see any apparent problem with your code apart of the remarks
above.
