You seem to have a deck with good heads as they try to play. Your finger takeup is the reason for the lack of a good tape lock. You need the takeup reel to be constant in speed and your finger is not that. The capstan does most of the work but the takeup reel finishes the speed. Belts or rollers underneath will fix that.
The camera E/E with the deck stopped (camera in...camera out through the deck) is a different problem and the camera may be toast or needing adjustments. I have two of these cameras and they are tired after 40 years.
Playing the tape on an audio deck is apples to oranges. Nothing will play on an audio deck. I forget the position of the audio track on these but it would be slim if it was a longitudinal track aside from the slant-track (helical) video and be almost invisible to a reel-to-reel player.
