My tv is not working properly so when i turn off the n64 and turn it on only sound comes on no video. So i have to flick through all the channels to get video to pop up. Are you allowed to start on just the reset button?

And the only way it will work when turned off then turned on is if the blue screen bs is turned off. Is that fine?

Yes, you may do runs from reset, the timing rules have been modified such that there is no longer a(n erroneous) penalty for using reset. Of course, you still need to capture the game. :-P

yes
