  1. This means heating. As this is an automatic thermostat, it stops when your room has reached a certain temperature

  2. Jep. The left switch is for heating/cooling. As you are guessing: Sun means heating. The numbers 1-6 is for the temperature. Position 3 should be something between 20 an 22 °C.

  3. Normally the setting 4 (the dot) should be a comfortable temperature in the room (about 22°C), the snowflake on the bottom is protection that the pipes not freeze.

    If you turn it, you usually hear a small click when the current temperature in the room is equal to the trigger temp of the heating.

    Make sure the switch on the left is right or maybe move it to the top, if that activates heating.

  4. You mean underfloor heating (Fußbodenheizung)? That’s not weird, but very common. The thermostat is on. The sun symbol usually means it’s heating normally, while the snowflake is a minimal heating mode to prevent damaging pipes from freezing etc. So yes, everything is correct. However, underfloor heating is slow. Very slow. Basically: If you turn it on now and it’s not working 24h later, then it’s time to call the landlord. You won’t notice an immediate difference.
