Crank pulley marks
Im installing a new timing belt and the manual tells me to line up the white mark on my pulley with the pointer, only thing is theres no white mark on mine. There is three marks together and one to the right by itself, which one is it ??

the mark on the oil pump/lower timing belt pulley. its NOT the crank ballancer. its the timing belt pulley itself. tho you have to typically clean it with a wire brush to see the tiny indent on the pulley!
thats the most important mark when changing the belt along with the top cam marks of course...
but when you do get ready to time the motor you have to jump the wire harness plug under the dash to sidable the computers timing advance and then check the marks on the timing belt cover and cranks ballancer pulley.

You are correct on all counts. The single mark on the external pulley is TDC and was painted white at the factory. The group of 3 are used to set spark timing.
Point the line on the crank timing belt sprocket to the mark on the engine. The keyway is not used to set timing.
Be careful not to damage that sensor or its wiring. A lot of them get damaged during timing belt changes.
