Glory to Rome
How is the starting Pool set up, and how are first-player ties broken?
The rulebook gives the starting Pool and the tie-break step; it does not say how many extra cards to deal.

Deal one card face up into the Pool for each player; those face-up cards are the starting Pool, and the rest of the Order cards form the face-down draw pile beside it, with the Jacks in their own pile. The player whose card comes first in the alphabet starts; if cards tie, deal extra cards into the Pool to break the tie. The rulebook does not say who gets the extra cards, and the Pool is not seeded by client type.
