Answer 1

The method startFlow takes two parameters:

• flowName - Required. The unique name of the flow.
• inputVariables - Optional. An array of object used to set the initial values for the flow’s input variables.

In your controller you should have something like this:

init : function (cmp) {
    var flow = cmp.find("myFlow");
    var inputVariables = [
    {
        name : 'CaseId',
        type : 'String',
        value : cmp.get("v.caseId")
    }
    ];
    flow.startFlow("myFlowName", inputVariables);
}

You could take a look at flow component documentation.
