You are missing something. Check out the Charms>Settings panel. The brightness control is the upper right icon in the set of 6 icons at the bottom of the array. It's easy to access regardless of whether you are using a Desktop or a Modern app. I, too, have found that the auto-brightness logic is flawed and prefer to set it manually.
As to your keyboard issue, you need to consider adding additional localized keyboards via the Control Panel if you want characters not available on the default keyboard. This page provides some additional info:
