英文书籍小王子第二章中一句副词和代词用法疑问

原文:

So I lived my life alone, without anyone that I could really talk to, until I had an accident with my plane in the Desert of Sahara, six years ago. Something was broken in my engine. And as I had with me neither a mechanic nor any passengers, I set myself to attempt the difficult repairs all alone. It was a question of life or death for me: I had scarcely enough drinking water to last a week.

The first night, then, I went to sleep on the sand, a thousand miles from any human habitation. I was more isolated than a shipwrecked sailor on a raft in the middle of the ocean. Thus you can imagine my amazement, at sunrise, when I was awakened by an odd little voice. It said:

"If you please-- draw me a sheep!"

"What!"

"Draw me a sheep!"

I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck. I blinked my eyes hard. I looked carefully all around me. And I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me with great seriousness. Here you may see the best portrait that, later, I was able to make of him. But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than its model.

我的疑问1certainly 是副词 very much是副词,less也是副词。这之间是什么怎么一个修饰关系?

我的疑问2:为什么这里用its主人公已经看到一个小矮人在自己面前,这里为什么不用his

But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than its model.

certainly = no doubt, 修饰谓语部分。lessingcharming的比较级,very much 修饰less.  its指的是作者画的那副肖像画,its model 指这幅肖像的模特。即作者说自己画的肖像比矮人本人的模样差远了。代词的指代关系一定要从上下文中去体会。
