I personally don't add people to any messengers anymore, this due to the fact that my previous e-mail had more than 500 contacts and became a complete mess next to the fact that I'm not working for a VALVe Helpdesk.
The sv_lan problem, not sure what is going on, it shouldn't matter what you set that to actually. Are you connecting from your own network to your server? If so, use the internal IP to connect to it.
About the mode switch, do you have your maxplayers set to 14? Try that, it works fine with my servers I launched yesterday.
The automatic startup can be done with a batch file, we actually made that batch file here on these forums, it's called the SRCDS Guardian, if you search for it you should find every bit of info you need on it.
The _restart command has never worked, you always need a batch file or some program like serverchecker or serverdoc. As for Left 4 Dead, I've seen a few crashes where it simply hangs and nothing changes, I don't think there is a way to recover from those yet but we'll see.
