It sounds like you've found a good car, that needs a lot of detail work, which is about par for the course. Prices of such vehicles here in the States are pretty similar, as is their usual condition, only we never got the Turbo+ version. Here are some comments related to your specific points:
2. Door pockets are fragile, particularly the tan ones. Good used ones can be difficult to find. the same is true of all the hard plastic interior trim. The door pockets cover the clips that hold the bottom edge of the panels in place. If you remove them, the clips will be exposed and are easily broken or dislodged.
3. It sounds as if part of the linkage has come apart inside the door. Probably an easy fix while you have the panel off to replace the pocket.
6. The interior light mounting is also easily damaged. The light fixture sits in a molded hole in the brittle fiber headliner board. There is also supposed to be a white plastic clip across the opening to hold it in place. Is this missing?
13. The speaker grills are removed by sliding them forward. They also help hold the door panel in place. The original stereo has a fader control. Is it set all the way to the rear? If you have an aftermarket stereo, it could be the fader, or it could have been installed incorrectly. Note that the original radio has a separate amp that must be eliminated for a replacement to work properly.
15. The facing of the glove box door often comes unglued. I used contact cement in a spray can to reattach mine. It has held just fine for over a year. It is necessary to take the glove compartment out of the car and remove the latch mechanism from the door to do this successfully, without making a mess.
16. The fuel filler door does not have a locking mechanism. It is held closed by a spring in the hinge. If you are concerned about theft, get a locking cap.
B.C. has already provided a good list of things to do right away, to which I would add checking the differential fluid, if not changing it, as it may not have been done since the car was new. Make sure to get the right type of oil, especially if you have a limited slip.
