i have used a 6" ruler edge to scrape my grounds flat at the top. What is the advantage of this item?

The distributor tool does more than even the grounds. When you take a ruler acrost the top I assume the extra grounds fall away and you tamp what’s left. The issue with that is you should be measuring the exact gram weight of coffee in your basket. The distributor tool then distributes your exact does of coffee evenly and compresses it. Then when you tamp it your just further compression a perfectly even puck. So when you hit it with 9 atmospheres of pressure it doesn’t get any holes in the puck or extract faster/slower in different areas. Instead it evenly soaks and then extracts. Hope that helps. Cheers.

How do you adjust the height of the distributor?

Yes, if by height you mean the depth of the vanes. Loosen the grip by turning counter clockwise. This will allow you to spin the vanes upward or downward along the main screw. Once you have your ideal depth, tighten the grip clockwise.

In which side I need to rotate leveler? Clockwise or counterclockwise?

I rotate this a few times in both directions, back and forth. I believe this action serves to level and distribute any grounds that sit higher then the ridge side of the levelor and then turning in the opposite direction smooths the leveled surface. I don't think it matters much which direction you start with and I use a bit of a back and forth spin. This action works well for me. In the end my pucks are always evenly distributed and smooth, ready to receive a perfect tamp.

Which direction are you supposed to turn it? Clockwise or Counter Clockwise?

Clockwise. You want the tapered edges of the leaves running over the coffee. It should become apparent once you try it. If done correctly the coffee should be flat ans smooth in the portafilter.
