The start of the Main Phase means it's the very first thing you HAVE to do when you enter your Main Phase 1.

So that means you can't set any cards before you activate it.
You can't Summon anything before you activate it.

Yes, both you and your opponent can chain to it's initial activation.
 
COTD = ?
You could chain a face-down Ultimate Offering, and not be able to activate its effect until it properly resolves. OR, if Ultimate Offering was already face-up on the field, you could chain to Cold Wave being activated by Special Summoning a monster.

Note that you cannot activate an Ultimate Offering AND Special Summon a monster all in the same chain.
