My problem is:
1. When i connect device to pc(win 7) i cant see all folders (including system folders), just main folder "documents". What do I have to do to see full device in PC?

I really think we need to add a "Noob" prefix index and wiki page.
FAQ: "What do I have to do to see full device in PC?"
Linux (and all *nix) have a single root file system tree.
Other (too) often used computer systems use a multiple rooted file system tree.
FAQ: "Is this folder with the 'documents' folder in it really the root (main folder) of the Kindle's (Linux) file system tree?"
No.
It is an exported sub-set of the full file system tree.
It has been given (within the file system) an new (external) name: "Kindle".
From your PC you see another "Kindle/documents" folder.
Where "Kindle" appears to be the root of another file system in your multiple rooted file system.
I.E: A drive letter in systems that label file system roots "A:, B:, C:, etc".
FAQ: "What is the full path and name of what appears to be the 'main' directory on the PC?"
Its native name is: /mnt/us
Where the leading '/' is the name of the root of the single rooted filesystem. (Yes, Virginia, the '/' is significant.)
FAQ (FAQ #1 restated): "How do I see the full (internal), single rooted file system?"
You need access to the system **other than** via the special view exported to a PC.
Your choices:
A direct connection to the internal system.
Translation: One of the serial ports. Either hardware or via networking (network console).
The most common one here (this MR site) is to access the hardware system operator's console port.
A "remote" connection to the internal system.
Common choices:
Command line:
Telnet,
ssh (Secure SHell, a replacement for rsh (Remote SHell) )
Graphic UI:
Any one of many applications that export the GUI display.
Look at the attachments on twobob's threads - many of those pictures are of the GUI exported using an application called VNC.

And finally, the answer to the O.P.'s question:
Yes, you need to install an ssh server (sshd service) to allow access to the full internal system.
This service installation is a part of the USBnetworking package here.
The USB networking package (when enabled and running) will also convert the USB port that normally is a connection to the exported Kindle storage area into a networking cable.
That networking appears (and is configured at both ends) as if it was an Ethernet cable connection.
Translation: Install the USB networking package, read and follow those directions.
