You may need a new pressure gauge. They are inexpensive and can be found at any place that sells pool products. OR That may be all that you are going to get out of the system you have.
Yes.
Because When the filter is on the water is being pushed through the sand, this brings about a buildup of water pressure in front of the filter and a reduction of water able to get through to the returns. If the filter gets dirty the pressure gets even higher. When the system is set on recirculate the water bypasses the filter so there is no pressure in front of it and as a result of this it is able to move through the system more easily.

When charging a system with a low pressure control and the control keeps shutting the compressor off, you should:
Each filter system will have it's own recommendations, but typically you should find three months a normal time frame. If you use the filter system more frequently then you'll have to change the filter more often than recommended.
Any kind of restrictive device, such as a filter, added to your water supply will reduce pressure and supply a fraction. Your filter may be clogged with sediment from the supply water and should be flushed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Most water systems should have a cartridge filter before the water treatment system to stop the sediment from entering the treatment filter. The replacement cartridge can then be changed as needed depending on the sediment in the water. The water supply lines should not be smaller than 3/4 inch pipe. This permits more volume of water even with a lower pressure. If you are on a well you can boost up the on and off pressure in the air tank by adjusting the pressure switch connected to the well pump. The air pressure in the tank must also be adjusted to 2 pounds less pressure of the new setting at the low end. Instructions for this can be found on the internet.
Depand apone the system required pressure for water supply. it should be 1.5 times of max system pressure and for drainage only gravity pressure is enough to test the system.
12-16 pounds when it gets toward 20 pounds the pool needs to be backwashed
The pressure gauge that is set up in front of the pool filter is there to show you when the filter needs cleaning or back washing. when the pressure gets high it indicates that there is too much dirt there for the water to pass efficiently, Cleaning it at this point will reduce the pressure and make the water flow better through the filter
Absolutely. Many people excacate and then place an above ground pool into the hole such that a foot or two stays above ground. Also make sure you either have clearance for your filter system or run the line into the ground and up to the filter as well.
