How did the early administration in Roman Gaul work? Did Caesar leave behind some governors to collect taxes, or did he just get the local leaders to pledge allegiance?

He left local tribe leaders. He took members of their family as hostage in case they betray him which they did a lot. Also left some legions in winter.

This, though these parts technically weren't part of Rome yet, those Caesar was actively working to annex the region. Transalpine Gaul and Cisalpin Gaul were part of Roman provinces and had a typical provincial administration with appointed governors. After the whole region was reorganized into several provinces and the typical roman adminstration was enforced. Gaul during this period up until the fall of the empire always retained quirks of its past though, fashion and language became romanized but retained Gallic traits and the region did not change much ethnically.

so the "Caesar killed one hundred trillion gauls" is a meme?

You should read commentaries on the gallic war. Interestingly it is also great for learning latin. Ceaser`s writing is solid.

He killed roughly 1 million. But he didn`t killed anyone who submit to him. Take the numbers with pinch of salt.
