What is your nationality.?

Given he's in Ghana, and not an expat, I'm taking a wild guess he's Canadian

I'm guessing French teachers have the same restrictions as English teachers, and must come from a native speaking country.
As an English teacher, you have zero chance of a legal job, probably the same goes for French.

As for English, forget the idea - no hope at all of a legal job.
I can't be sure for French, but I suspect you'll have problems. Try a google for French teachers in Indonesia, but all the ones I've seen ask for French people.

One would assume yes, but then again, this is Indonesia!聽 聽

Not an issue I've ever looked at, but it would seem logical - still, as you say, this is Indonesia.

Yes but I think the accent is extremely important. I do understand that you are highly qualified to teach French and English and no offence meant, but I would worry about my children picking up strange accents when they speak English/ My preference is for my children to speak English with a typical English accent. That is why I spend unhealthy amounts of money buying Box Sets of "Peppa Pig", "Ben and Holly", "Little Princess" and "Horrid Henry" DVD's from Amazon in the UK.

Similarly, I lived in France for seven years both in Paris and Biarritz, and I wouldn't want my kids to pick up a Marseilles or a Basque accent or any other distinctive accent. This is just my own personal preference for my own children.

But good luck if you can find a job teaching in Indonesia.

Just fact.
You can't get a legal job here (as an English teacher) unless you are from a native English speaking country.
That will change (probably) for citizens of ASEAN countries.

The fact is, you could be a failed high school student, or hold the best of a string of qualifications in the language sector, but you still can't get a legal job here as an English teacher.
Anything else is wishful thinking - regardless of how much you dislike it.
