Is it normal for GTS to lurch forward when starting in gear with the clutch

Yes, this is normal. There is a slight viscous coupling that occurs between
the clutch plates when they sit in the oil for a while without spinning.

I hope you learn the easy way to apply the brakes before you shift into

Since I'm an instructor, I practice about 10
