A lot of questions (new ones, some Y/N)

New 1:

Finale has trouble playing grace notes that are at the very beginning of a piece, because it doesn't have any time to "look what's coming". There's really nothing you can do about it.

No need for the tuplet tool, they're all grace notes. There's a tool for that instead.

As for the rests, there should be two beats worth, and then the pitches.

New 2:

Basically, ties should take care of themselves. Again, those are grace notes, not tuplets, so they will all fit within a fraction of beat. And yes, the rest follows the fermata to indicate a separation, usually interpreted as an exaggerated rest.

New 3:

As you've guessed, the reason you can't put a sharp there is because the note is already defined as sharp in the key signature.

You can, however, still show the symbol by pressing the "P" key while the note is highlighted. (Though it will be in parentheses)

It's there in the original as a courtesy, because the first F in that measure has an accidental natural. Just a sort of check up, make sure you hit the right key.
