Yes, I think that was the lever my Dad used to pull on his old Dacia, when he was starting in the winter, there was some lever under the dash which he explained to me closed a certain airpath so not so much cold air got into engine during warm up phase. He used to push it back slowly as the car warmed up. And they used to put lead in gasoline back in those days.
Yes.
During starting, a cold engine wants more fuel and less air. Cold air has even more oxygen in the air, making choke or "more" choke needed in winter. Our first cars had manual chokes.
Years later, my first motorcycles had manual chokes. On some warm days, I didn't need any choke. Once warm, none was needed thought the day. My last two bikes had fuel injection and "automatic chokes" Bikes without FI may still have them.
My previous car was carbureted, and I had to clean the automatic choke mechanism from time to time.
