Well, which value you want to read from the file? You have created a file with one section and one item, next you want to read back from a different section so it's no mistery that you can't obtain what you want. In this case, what you store in the file is what you can read back from it.

FYI, the .ini file is nothing but a text file, that you can read with a simple text editor like Notepad: open the file you have created and look at what it's stored in it. That sum of informations is what you can read from the file!

Moreover, you are getting different values (a string and an integer) from the same item: if you had error checking enabled you should have get some error in some of the Ini_Get lines. Adding a proper error checking would have informed you of another thing: every Ini_Get that does not terminate on error will return a value of 0 (zero) if the item cannot be found in the file.
