First question is interesting, it's worth asking the council. My local council has a specific page on the website for reporting a Street Name Plate Problem. If the sign is actually fixed to the wall of your house then it might not be the council's responsibility - but it probably is.
On the second point, you might be able to work it out from the title register or pre-registration documents that your solicitor should have sent you. But depending on the age it might not be possible to know for sure.

Couple of Questions:
Just bought my first home, an old red brick terrace in Manchester, I noticed that it has the road name on it but it’s missing some bits of the lettering is this something that I can get the council to spruce up? (Very unlikely I guess) if not I might just try and do it myself.
On the paper work from the sale it’s stated that it’s a 60’s house, but that doesn’t quite feel right, there’s evidence of fire places in the living room as well as one in the dining room, and main bedroom, and it’s also got floorboards throughout which I would assume a more modern house wouldn’t have downstairs? How do I go about verifying a build era/date?
