You ask multiple questions so I have to unravel your long string of text to try to understand what you are asking where. A few proper sentences with punctuation would help and would ensure people don't just give up when faced with a block of text. ;-)

A code is sent first to your trusted devices automatically:
"If you have a trusted device running iOS 9 and later, OS X El Capitan and later, iPadOS 13 and later, or watchOS 6 and later, the verification code is displayed automatically on your trusted devices."
If you don’t have a trusted device handy, you can choose to have a verification code sent to your trusted phone number as a text message or phone call. This could be any kind of phone.
1. Click "Didn't get a verification code" on the sign in screen.
2. Choose to have the code sent to your trusted phone number.
3. You'll get a text message or phone call from Apple with your verification code. This text message might include an additional domain validation line. This line includes the @ symbol, the website name, and your code (for example: @icloud.com #123456 %apple.com).
4. Enter the code on your other device to complete sign in.
"If you can’t receive a verification code on your trusted devices automatically, you can get one from Settings, even if your device is offline."
On a mobile device go to Settings > [your name] > Tap Password & Security > Get Verification Code.
On a Mac: Go to Apple menu > System Preferences [System Settings], then click Apple ID. Click Password & Security > Get Verification Code.
"If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account [ How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support ]. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity."
If you were using iCloud to store your files then when you sign into your account on the new iPhone items should automatically download from iCloud to the new iPhone (you may have to activate some services in Settings). If your data are on the Android phone, download the Move to iOS app to get help switching from your Android device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."To learn more click here --> Move from Android to iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
