Is there a way to access env variables from docker?

My dbt debug works perfectly when running through my docker project (using meltano):

20:22:11  Running with dbt=1.2.2
dbt version: 1.2.2
python version: 3.8.13
python path: /project/.meltano/transformers/dbt-bigquery/venv/bin/python
os info: Linux-5.15.0-48-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.2.5
Using profiles.yml file at /project/transform/profiles/bigquery/profiles.yml
Using dbt_project.yml file at /project/transform/dbt_project.yml

Configuration:
  profiles.yml file [OK found and valid]
  dbt_project.yml file [OK found and valid]

Required dependencies:
 - git [OK found]

Connection:
  method: service-account
  database: tmp
  schema: dbt_dev
  location: US
  priority: interactive
  timeout_seconds: 300
  maximum_bytes_billed: None
  execution_project: tmp
  job_retry_deadline_seconds: None
  job_retries: 1
  job_creation_timeout_seconds: None
  job_execution_timeout_seconds: 300
  Connection test: [OK connection ok]

But when running locally it gets a useless profile that I only used for testing purposes.

Is there a way to connect vscode to my docker environment variables?

I'm not sure which action you perform that is failing exactly. Please explain what you are trying to achieve and provide exact reproduction steps.

I don't test with Meltano. According to other users it is supported by setting dbt.dbtPythonPathOverride in your vscode config to your meltano executable.
