As I am used to TC functionality of the Insertkey and Spacebar to select files. I cannot figure out how to emulate those keys to do the same as in TC.
What mode should I be in? Powermode or Detailed? Or should I be in Checkbox mode? Which mode makes it easiest to resemble TC-selection of files functionallity?
Also how do I remap those keys to that functionallity?
What do those keys do in TC?
They select files/folders and when pressed again they deselect them.
I cannot figure out how to simply select/deselect files/folders.
Spacebar or middle-mouse-button toggle selection in most modes. If you want to move the keyboard focus without changing selelection, hold Ctrl when using the arrow keys.
Power Mode lets you configure things more. You can set it to toggle select mode so that you can toggle selection with the left mouse button and don't have to hold Ctrl when using the arrow keys.
Is it possible to do selection with Insert instead of the left mouse button? Because I cannot find the left mouse button function in the Keyboard mapping table.
I would really like my left mouse button default for just point and click.
You can go in -> customize -> keyboard -> & make a new command. Chose "insert" as the key & use following code:
select next
select prev
I don´t know if this is the most elegant solution, but compared to select first you can select any focussed file, not only the first one.

Thx, also I would like to see my cursor advancing to the next line after a selection. So that I can select as many lines as I want by just holding the key pressed.
Is that possible?
Well, that depends on what you´re satisfied with. Please read this thread:

I also work almost exclusively with the keyboard, & if i want to select items from the selceted one up- or downwards, i hold down shift key & use the up & down keys to select mor items.

Indeed with Shift-arrowkey is the simplest way to handle selections I think, but afaik its not possible to map that function to whatever other key? for example to Insert-key?
This seems to be a very special function, which works differently depending on the context. In first use it selects an item, then it changes the behavior & keeps selecting the following files. I don´t think that this is trival. You could file it as an official request, though.
I use a lot of customized keyboard functions, & sometimes my preferred setting even will break a function, if i don´t keep track of the changes or assign it to another key. For example, i like to use the space bar for toggling lister sides, but then selecting files per space bar of course didn´t work.
