Its a casual game so I think it's enough. They are free as well remember. If you want more you can always ask your friends or even purchase a set of lives if you are a hardcore player.

This is how your level should look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70xPBID0XWs There should be 12 mystery candies and 12 yellow candies to collect. If you level looks different then can you take a screenshot of it mid-game and post it here?

Have you checked on facebook to see if your levels have saved there? Hopefully they have and then you can just disconnect and reconnect from facebook in the game app to get your levels back. 

The clouds cover the areas that you haven't unlocked yet. Maybe you're game has lost it's connection to facebook and your levels aren't showing as unlocked. Try scrolling far back, see what happens. 

I think you can pick up some tips from watching videos but yes, its mostly about luck and chance with the timer. Check out Pete Peppers awesome help page, maybe you can find something there: http://pepperpanictips.com/pepper-panic-saga-episode-16/

The app will be in whatever language you have set for your app store or the localisation and language of your tablet. You will need to change this in order to have the game in French. Check in the settings section for localisation. 

The latest update hasn't come out on iOS yet. Check the store, the last update was the 11th. I know that iOS releases always take longer so it shouldn't be long before its out. 

Hey, be happy that you get a free booster every day ;) I think apart from the jackpot, its all pretty even, I get my fair share of all of them. The only time I get frustrated is when you get a coconut wheel for example and you can't use it on certain levels.

It sounds like your friend has logged in via the kingdom or facebook maybe. Open the app and in the settings, disconnect from both and then sign in with your details. That should work.
