ᐅ Lawn seeded, first beams in place, and what’s starting to grow there?

Hi,
I sowed my lawn on Friday, March 29th, after spreading fresh topsoil/lawn soil in the days before. While spreading the soil, I occasionally picked out some clover leaves (they were a nice, healthy green). I assume I didn’t get them all.
Anyway, now after just over a week, the first shoots are sprouting =)
That’s already encouraging.
What’s strange, though, is that the shoots are not coming from the seeds lying on the surface, but rather from those that were pushed slightly under the surface by the rake when spreading. The first week was very warm and dry, and despite watering 4–5 times a day by hand, the soil dried out repeatedly in between.
I assume that the surface seeds all died?
Also, sometimes two shoots grow from the same spot, meaning one sprout becomes two (see pictures)... Is that normal? Is this characteristic of a certain grass species?
And what is the two-leaved plant growing there? Could it be clover?
Oh, the seed mix is called "Classic Green Sport & Play Lawn."

No, integration is a matter of discretion. You can do it, but you don’t have to.
But don’t worry about it. At the moment, there’s nothing you can do anyway. Depending on the circumstances, it can sometimes take 15–20 days (2–3 weeks)...
That’s how I understood everything after reading up on it...

I’m someone who always wants to know every detail and have everything perfect, but I never thought about pulling out clover or inspecting every blade of grass so closely.
This won’t be the only weed that appears.
And the lawn will grow—either above or below the ground. And where there are gaps, you just reseed.

The seeds can still germinate. For us, some appeared even after several weeks.
I need to re-sow, but unfortunately, I can’t. I have to wait until the family of ducks has left again. This morning, there were six of them actively pecking around. They shouldn’t eat my seeds—they are better off eating slugs and other pests.
It could be clover, or it might be a flower with small blue blossoms, similar to a forget-me-not.
