People who actually know how to signal in a roundabout are a rare breed. Dunno how it’s in other countries but the German rules actually make sense: Don’t signal when entering. There’s exactly one way to go, so why would you. Don’t signal when driving around the roundabout as that’s straight ahead (even if it’s a circle). Do signal before the exit you want to take, this is for the benefit of people waiting to enter (or maybe those behind but only on 2-lane roundabouts). As a corollary: If you signal while you enter you’re pining straight for the first exit… but honestly avoid it too many people signal wrong so it’s better to not play fast+loose.
Roundabouts and bikes aren’t really a problem? It’s normally safer to do them normally than dismount and use the pedestrian crossings like they seem to want you to do (unless there are traffic light controlled crossings)
You just have to hold your lane like you are a car.
In every single situation that I have experienced, when both car and bike were in a roundabout together, there was some kind of problem (mostly not serious, fortunately).

in the Netherlands people often do signal left while on the roundabout but that feels mostly because of cyclists who also do so.
Do they have cyclists and cars in the same roundabout at the same time?
Do any of them survive?
Yes they do; seperate paths.
The red ones are bicycle paths.
Ooohhh, nice!

In theory, probably not.

Yes. Most times one or both did not do that.

Australian rules are (we keep left and go clockwise around roundabouts)
I’m sure most people follow the rules, but I see a lot who indicate wrong, and the drivers of the various premium brands don’t indicate at all ever
