What is the purpose of the tool the commander is using to press buttons?
It is a tool to reach the panel, which can't be reached without the tool.
They used a similar tool on the shuttle to reach certain switches/circuit breakers on the overhead panels when they were seated for launch/landing. It was called the "swizzle stick".

(Excuse my ignorance, I am not versed in such things)
Why is he pressing the buttons to control the spacecraft?, i thought that the ship could control itself. This is probably completely wrong, I should do research before I ask things.

It does fly automatically. Manual inputs are required for auxiliary tasks (like switching between two onboard cameras).
