As the title says - are there links/docs to the basic setup as I would like to get started on the book (which I have been planning for a while)

Starting up drracket and programming in #lang racket is close enough. TLS is really more about the idea than the exact details of the implementation.
(In a sense, TLS pretends that the language is slightly different from Racket or Scheme. At some point I had a ‘#lang tls’ but for a learner, the use of plain Racket is better (you don’t really want your program to diverge when you evaluate `(sub1 0)`), which is why I never turned it into a public package.)

#lang racket better than #lang htdp/isl+ ?

Thanks for asking. I actually meant `#lang htdp/bsl`.
