To answer your questions -

Tyres - Anywhere really but you can often find sheaper tyres on the web.
Parts - 125 specific (almost everything apart from bars, grips etc..) at Honda dealers but you might need to know the part numbers. Places like Lings (See FAQS) might be more help.
Parts - Other - See MX dealers.
There is only one basic CRM125. Just the colours of the frame, plastics and graphics changed. A honda dealer should be able to give you the model year and version letter from your frame number.
Coolant - Can't remember exactly but there may be a bottle beside/under the rad fairing :? .

Engine parts are mostly NSR125 as the engine is basically an NSR engine with a kickstart rather than an electric motor.

Drain plug is on the underside of the engine :? .

For spare parts eBay does have some. Be sure to clik the 'Worldwide' box as 125 was not officially imported into the UK and there are far more on the continent.
