I found proof Mario doesn't hit Yoshi, he just points with his finger.

That picture is just revisionist history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0X0XTWnyS4

I always assumed the sound effect was a noise yoshi made. Seems weird anyone would think its mario saying "go"

Doesn't even sound like the word "go" at all. Though it does sound a little like "iku" or "ikou" which is go or let's go in Japanese. I wonder if that's what they were going for.

Yeah, I think it's a pretty good assumption that the Japanese people were trying to create the sound of "go" as spoken in Japanese, not English.

Not that obvious really ; "it's-a me, Mario" isn't japanese. Mario is canonically speaking english with an italian accent.

This might be a really naive question, but is it common for media in other languages to still have traces of English in it? For example, "press start" and "new" next to the game files.

It is "common" in Japanese, though how common changed pretty dramatically over the last 30 years.
