You do need to get at least the operator's manual. Sounds like you're in Europe so a) it will take you a whle to get one and b) I don't think the store on this site ships overseas, so look up www.binderbooks.com and see if you can get one there. It will cover a lot of what you're asking about, including the hydraulics. At the ime I got the boks for my SuperC, they didin'/t have the IH Blue RIbbon Repair Manual for it (though I think they do now). If that's still the case, the same manual for As and Bs is still quite useful for most stuff around the motor. They also have a manual for troubleshooting and rebuilding the Touch Control Hydraulics if it should come to that.
To your questions --- the starter button is on top of your starter and is operated by the rod to the right of your steering column with the ring on it that looks just like your choke rod on the left. Pull it to engage the starter.
My SuperC has three arms on the TC hydraulics --two on the left and one on the right. The outer arm on the left acts at the same time as the one on the right. The inner one on the left acts independently of the other two. Yes, they are operated by the levers up by your throttle. There wre other configurations (i.e., one arm on either side) but I don't know how, if at all, they might be interlinked.
As for you mower, there would originally have been a bar or rod from one of the hydraulic arms on the left running back to the lift mechanism on the mower (binderbooks has manuals for different mowers, too, if we can identify what you have) which has often been replaced with a length of chain or wire cable. Is there anything connecting the mower to one of the lift arms?
As for your carb, the books may not have anything on that. I'd suspect a stuck or poorly adjusted float or a bit of crud keeping the float needle from seating. Another thought is to point out that if the French tractors are anything like the US-built ones, they don't need much choke. I start with the choke fully closed and open it wide up as soon as it fires. Even if it doesn't start on the first crank, I back the choke off until it is only perhaps a quarter-closed for the next crank and leave it open after that. If I try to crank it any longer than that with the choke closed, she'll flood and soon be dripping like yours is.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
