https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsY0FbT8zls To close the lid, place it on the pot making sure to align the arrow on the lid with the arrow on the lower handle. Make sure the lid is evenly placed on the top rim of the pot. Turn the lid clockwise until the handle on the lid and the lower handle on the pot meet, the lock will automatically click into place.

All pressure cookers should have a release valve. Be sure that is clean and allows a free flow of steam when the weight is not on it. Test it with just water in the pot. Heat the water until its just about to boil (with the lid off) then close and lock down the lid. Steam should start to come out of the release valve. If not .. clean it again.
No that is not necessary they are mearly for travel purposes or if you don't want someone to steal a bite! If you tighten them down too much there could be a buildup of steam which can burn when you open the lid!
Your gasket is no good and needs to be repaired. The water is supposed to be pressurized as high heat steam and when pressure is excessive the valve does its thing to lower to acceptable levels.
As long as the lid is properly locked into position it should be closed properly. A certain amount of air and steam will escape from the valve on the lid and will male a hissing sound but this is perfectly normal.
make sure u DO NOT lock the clips while cooking, its not a pressure cooker. if you lock the lid the heat and pressure from whatever you are cooking causes an air-tight seal and the lid will shatter or the ceramic pot it self will crack...
