I can't answer all your questions.

Hold the float body with needle nose pliers while you bend the floats independently.

1/8" liquid level too high should not cause no-start problems. It could cause running irregularities by sloshing into the vent holes.

The floats may be dragging on the side of the carburetor. This can make them stick down and flood the intake. But the tractor will usually start under this condition. The beauty of an updraft carburetor. Some that are really leaking, I have started with the gas off and then turn it on once the engine is running from the bowl fuel supply.

Float does not have to be level, but you should try to get it close. One or two pair of pliers and patience helps.
