I do not understand how I can reference tables (only the first one?)

Remote references

You may also reference constants, fields and ranges from a different
table, either in the current file or even in a different file. The
syntax is
remote(NAME-OR-ID,REF)
where NAME can be the name of a table in the current file as set by a
`#+TBLNAME: NAME' line before the table. It can also be the ID of an
entry, even in a different file, and the reference then refers to the
first table in that entry. REF is an absolute field or range
reference
as described above for example `...@3$3' or `$somename', valid in the
referenced table.

remote(FILENAME,REF) does not seem to work. All the tutorials I
found are either too basic or too advanced or too general.
For tables in a different file, the remote table must be the first
table in an outline node, and the outline node must have an ID property.
First configure org-modules and turn on the id module.
Then prepare your target file like this
* here is my table
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: DDE64190-0C3D-4088-A303-DA3B60ECEB48
:END:
and here we have the table.

The ID can be an arbitrary string, but then you must
make sure yourself that it is globally unique. Or you
can have Org-mode make the ID for you.
Hope this gets you on the way.
