Come back if you have any more problems, and we'll hopefully be able to help if needed. Grass is pretty forgiving though, so water is the main thing it needs.

The longer you leave the grass to grow the stronger its roots will become, the better the turf will connect to the soil below and establish itself and the faster the roots will spread to fill those wee holes with new shoots.
Wait to cut it and then just trim it with the mower blades set on their highest setting and keep it on that setting all this year so the grass can grow strong enough to cope with winter. For your first few cuts next spring, maintain that high cut and then lower it, if you like, one spacer at a time and over several cuts.
You are growing a lawn, not a putting or bowling green, so keeping the grass on the long side is both easier to maintain and will help keep weeds at bay and also help it bounce back after a bit of wear and tear.

I agree with the others .It’s absolutely fine , it’s a good colour and you say it’s only new. Well give the poor thing a chance to grow and don’t worry your head about it. When we get some rain it’ll be fine you’ll see .
Not really. Many new gardeners stress and worry about whether they're doing it right or have made a big mistake and need to fix it. Perfectly normal to advise them to relax and leave it alone.
Patience is the greatest lesson a gardener can learn.

It is possible to say what you said without such a patronising way of saying it, such as @bcpathome said. He obviously needs his penis slicing off. I'm first to volunteer.
Get some help love, instead of returning to a garden forum under different names and being offensive to people.

It’s a fairly uncommon perennial @Valley Gardener … Foulious mouthius, aka The Bad Penny Plant, known for its unpleasant odour. Pops up overnight and withers away just as quickly. Best disregarded. 😉
