For the Reverse problem, you could have low transmission fluid, or a bad transmission. For starting in drive, just about every modern car will not start when the transmission is in gear. They will only start in Park or Neutral. This is a safety feature to prevent the car from taking off into someone or something when started.

The transmission is messed up, try playing between neutral/reverse and drive, my old Hyundai excel did that and the transmission did a weird sound then went back OK, but not for long. Recommended to change it.
If reverse lights stay on while the vehicle is in drive, it could indicate a malfunction in the transmission's neutral safety switch or the reverse light switch, both of which are responsible for activating the reverse lights. Additionally, a wiring issue or short circuit could be causing the lights to remain illuminated. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue properly.
