Don't think it matters about which way round the wires are but if it was broken you would only see actuator pressure

When you turn the ignition on it should click. I think just remove n refit the plug should make it click too when ignition is on

Check resistance of the valve with an ohmeter 20-50 ohms across the terminals.

Because that is where they were made in Sweden, I really should get out more.

Sort of, it will only do so when the engine is running, re disconnect/reconnect.

I did wonder if the British carburettor manufacturers 'Amal' made them.
