You can start a topic sentence any way you like. A topic sentence makes a statement (or asks a question) the rest of the paragraph explains or gives examples of what the topic sentence has said.
For example the topic sentence is:
New Zealand is an island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
We would expect this paragraph to give us some more information about New Zealand, maybe about it's size, how many islands, the islands names etc.
So the paragraph could be:
New Zealand is an island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean. It comprises of two main islands the South Island and the North Island plus numerous small islands. The land area of New Zealand is 268,021 square kilometres. New Zealand's closest neighbour is Australia.
So your topic sentence can start anyway you want, it all depends on what your paragraph is going to be about.
An English sentence simply takes thoughts or spoken words and puts those into complete thoughts that make sentences. When speaking, you finish your thought. You would not say:
Wrong: I am going to.
That is an incomplete thought. Where are you going to; you must finish the thought.
Wrong: He said.
That is an incomplete thought. What did he say?
So simply turn your spoken or unspoken thoughts into sentences. Every sentence needs a subject and verb, and often include an object or object phrase.
Sentences with subject and verb only are usually almost childlike sentences:
I ran.
He cried.
She walked.
They sang.
More mature sentences include an object or object phrase. The sentence may also be compound, containing two linked thoughts.
I ran to catch the bus.
He cried when his baby was born.
She walked to the store.
They sang Christmas Carols while they visited hospitals and nursing homes.
John and Sally went to the movies, then went to eat at McDonald's.
Mom said I had to clean my room, vacuum the living room carpet, and wash the dishes.

You can use an appostitive, a verbal, an adverb, or a personal pronoun.

It's perfectly fine to start a sentence with likewise, just make sure you have a comma after it.
No, you cannot start a sentence with "no" unless you need to do so. No reason exists not to start a sentence with that word, as you can see. No one will care if you do start a sentence with it.

Yeah, sure you can start a sentence with although. For example: Although I new I couldn't afford to make the monthly payments on the car, I bought it anyway.
