You should pick up a guitar tuner like this, that will make it much easier to see if it tunes up properly and stays in tune. Clip it to the nut at the top and start tuning it up from there. Doing it by ear is almost impossible if you have no experience with the instrument, in my opinion.
The rattling in the gourd is normal. Little pieces break off inside the gourd sometimes and rattle around when moved. So odds are that's a non-issue. And from what I can tell the sitar looks to be strung up properly and looks alright from a distance. Once you get it tuned up you should be able to get an idea if anything is wrong with it.

The one thing I'd check for is if the neck is warped or bent at all, because that seems to be a common issue sometimes.
