Hello and welcome to the ETS 2 MP community;
To solve your problem you must press F9, then you'll be able to see the chat by pressing Y, also, to see other online players near you and get access to some settings, press TAB one time and Right Click in order to make the pointer appear, to make it dissappear it's just the same.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
