Buy the genuine tools and follow the guide and you'll be fine.
Do it yourself for the price you've paid for the car, not worth spending a fortune getting it done when you have the knowledge to do it yourself in my opinion.
As above, it'll be the switch on the handbrake that's the problem I'd imagine. Calipers and handbrake cables won't do anything for the light on the dash.
Just turning the helper spring will not change anything. If you think it feels softer now then it's in your head. The only adjustment is the 2 black rings at the bottom which you can use the change the preload on the springs (raising or lowering the car)
Should be no need for marking at all. The marks would be pointless as the pulleys are all free floating and have to be loosened to tension the belt properly.
That's probably not been done with the right tools tbh.

I think we need to clear up which model of car you have. in your other thread you show a picture of a 1.2 non turbo MK3 Clio, but in this thread you say you have a 1.2 TCe?

That's fine as long as you have a filter that doesn't require oil.
Running a K&N without oil for example, you may as well not bother with a filter at all. It's the oil that catches the dirt and stops it from entering the engine.
If you want more noise then removing boxes is what you want, not adding them.
Take out anything other than the back box, will be noisier then. Get a bit of a flat spot at 2.5k revs though.
Is it going to Mick to be fixed? Have the garage you bought it from been made aware of the problem? You need to give them opportunity to fix it otherwise you'll have to pay.
Every one will be different I would imagine. As @NorthloopCup say's, he strips and replaces what's needed. That will depend on the gearbox being supplied.
Just the flexi's is usually fine as long as the manifold is checked for cracks. I can't see them wanting to stump up for a manifold, aren't they about £1k?
Not too long at all then really, and well worth the effort! Can you recommend anything for alcantara? I need something to keep my steering wheel clean etc.
