The treble cleft signifies the A-G notes that start to the right of middle C. The bass is for those to the left. It is very common to skip octaves with one hand while playing. Just keep practicing. Good Luck!

You mean that there are three staves grouped together? There could be various explanations for the extra treble staff. It could be for another instrument or voice; if this is so, the upper treble staff will be for the other instrument, the bottom two staves for the piano. Or it could be offering you alternative versions of the piece: I have one piece (Elgar's Chanson de Matin I think) which has two different options for the right hand - one easier than the other. Or, sometimes, the piece is particularly complex with many notes and it is simply clearer to split the notes into three staves - in this case, you might find that you do need an extra hand unless you're on your way to becoming a concert pianist! Good luck!

It means that your left hand climbs and octave and
plays it as if it was also "treble cleff".

It could be organ-music scoring, where the bass is played by the feet.
