Is fasting on the first day of Ramadan acceptable, given that menstruation began after Tarawih prayers and no blood appeared during the day? And is it obligatory to fast now, despite not having the intention to fast and not having partaken in Suhoor? And is it permissible to perform ghusl after Fajr if I intend to fast the obligatory fast?

A single drop of blood is not considered menstruation by the majority of scholars, and the fast of the day it appeared is valid. As for the second day, its fast is not valid due to the absence of the intention from the night before, and its make-up is obligatory.
