From what age is this safe for a child to play with?

I would say 14 years old but the instructions DO SAY to be used under Adult Supervision in which case I suggest 6 years old.

Do they come with the rubber tyres ?

Yes it is fitted with rubber tyres.

Yes. There is a lever on the piston that is moved forward for that direction and pulled back to reverse. On the photo of the steam traction engine it is on the left and above the brass piston.
