Some answers:

Open orders are not read: That's correct, trades are only resumed when you answer "No" on the question if you want to close all trades. Otherwise they are not resumed, even if closing them caused an error. I admit that it would be better when they were resumed in that case. This can be changed in a future version.

No positions opened: Maybe your portfolio had all zero positions? Otherwise I would not know a reason why positions are not opened.
