First, a style issue: please don't use __contains__ or __delitem__ this
way.  Use the idiomatic Python spelling:

    if 'current_customer' in ISession(self.request)['cdc_adama']:
        del ISession(self.request)['cdc_adama']['current_customer']
    ISession(self.request)['cdc_adama']['current_customer'] = customer

It's not about different ZODB connections.  It's about objects being
stored in different databases.  And that depends on how your session
storage is configured in your application.  For example, if you use
RAMSessionDataContainer then session data lives in a memory-only
MappingStorage.

Perhaps you can store just the customer ID instead of the entire object?
