Also in English (and other languages) it does not count as good style
starting a sentence with "and."

Depends on the register in which you're writing. In Biblical style it's quite common. Before literacy was common, people who could read would read aloud for the benefit of those who could not. Using a prominent conjunction at the beginning of a sentence was meant to be an audible cue that you were starting a new sentence.

The rule "don't start a sentence with a conjunction" is about as valid as "don't split infinitives."

We do have canonical Klingon of conjunctions starting sentences.
