OK, the "ML" button is for memory lock. There isn't a specific button for focus lock - you simply focus on your subject, keep pressure on the shutter, recompose, then depress fully to shoot the frame.
The lever on the side is to do multiple exposures. Before the first frame, push the lever up until it clicks into place, shoot the first frame, then move the lever back to its normal position and shoot the next frame. The film will not have been advanced between the 2 frames.
