slide bar not working and unable to draw contours

Hi, I am a beginner to openCV, and wanted trying to implement a slide bar and draw a contours around the masked image. My code is shown as below:

May I also ask that: 1. Sometimes, there is a square bracket with values e.g. [-1], [0] behind the function cv.findContours(mask,cv.RETR_TREE,cv.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE), what are they these square brackets with values is used for? 2. I found contours, hierarchy = cv.findContours( image, mode, method[, contours[, hierarchy[, offset]]] ) in the openCV official website. I understand that we can pass in image,mode,and method to the function, but what is the meanning of "[, contours[, hierarchy[, offset]]]"

Thank you for reading.
