Translating some sentences in Turkish
If someone is also willing to explain me some other specifications in the language as well, will be thankful.

Here is the first sentence:
Hadlerini bildikleri müddetçe etrafta bulunmalarından hoşlanırmış.

And here is what i understand from it:
had-limit, degree - hadler (pl) - hadlerin - their limits - to their limits (or, indicating their limits; since "i" suffix)
bildikleri- to those who know ( bil[mek] + -dik + ler + i)
or, both things together could be possessive relation - the limits of their knowing (or something...)
muddetce - while, as long as
etraf- sides, surroundings, friends - to the surroundings ...? (really doubt) (arkadas is friend, so ...)
bulunmak - bulun + ma + lar + in + dan - from their non finding (or, is it?)
hoslanmak to enjoy, like - "mis" - have liked (or supposedly, probably liked)

-they probably liked (for as long as) (do not find) not finding around anyone who knows their limits
So, any help?

Translating some sentences in Turkish
If someone is also willing to explain me some other specifications in the language as well, will be thankful.

Here is the first sentence:
Hadlerini bildikleri müddetçe etrafta bulunmalarından hoşlanırmış.

And here is what i understand from it:
had->limit, degree -> hadler (pl) -> hadlerin - their limits -> to their limits (or, indicating their limits; since "i" suffix)
bildikleri-> to those who know ( bil[mek] + -dik + ler + i)
or, both things together could be possessive relation -  the limits of their knowing (or something...)
muddetce -> while, as long as
etraf-> sides, surroundings, friends ->  to the surroundings ...? (really doubt) (arkadas is friend, so ...)
bulunmak -> bulun + ma + lar + in + dan -> from their non finding  (or, is it?)
hoslanmak > to enjoy, like -> "mis" -> have liked (or supposedly, probably liked)

->they probably liked (for as long as) (do not find) not finding around anyone who knows their limits
So, any help?

Answer

Apparently he/she likes having them around as long as/provided they know their place.

Answer

Apparently, he/she used to like them being around as long as they knew their places.

It should be 'used to' because it says hoşlanırmış, this is geniş zaman ve mişli geçmiş zaman combined, that's why.

Answer

2. Hoşlanırmış / Hoşlanmış

Hoşlan-ır-mış ("geniş zaman" + "öğrenilen (duyulan) geçmiş zaman") : Supposedly he/she likes
Hoşlan-mış ("öğrenilen (duyulan) geçmiş zaman") : Supposedly he/she liked

Supposedly /?  Reputedly  /?  Reportedly  /?  Purportedly
(I don't know which one is the best. Maybe, depends on the situation.)
(Suffixes: -mış, -miş, -muş, -müş)

"-dan" suffix (bulunmaların-dan) is only an ablative suffix which the verb "hoşlanmak" requires.
(Bir şey-den hoşlanmak)

Sample sentences:
Hüzünlü şarkılardan hoşlanıyorum.
O, kırmızı şapkalardan çok hoşlanıyor.
Kitap okumaktan hoşlanır mısın?
Voleybol oynamaktan hiç hoşlanmıyor.

"Haddini bilmek" or "hadlerini (plural) bilmek" is a compound verb and an idiom. Please don't interpret its words separately.

Here, the meaning of "etrafta" is "around".

Please consider Sandy's answer and my answer together.

Answer

I try to explain with my bad English.

Please don't confuse these:

1. Bulunmak / Bulmak
2. Hoşlanırmış / Hoşlanmış

1. Bulunmak / Bulmak

Bulmak : to find
Bulunmak has two different meanings:
a. Bul-un-mak : Passive form of the verb "bulmak" : to be found    (Now, this is beside the point)
b. Bulun-mak : to be present    (This is our verb!)

So, your parsing (bulun + ma + lar + ın + dan) is wrong.
"ma" is NOT AN AFFIX (NEGATOR) here.
Correct parsing is "bulunma + lar + ı + (n) + dan"
Is "bulunma" really a verb here?
No.

*** NOW, THE MOST CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE ***

"Bulunma" is a verbal-noun derived from the verb "bulunmak".
There are three types of verbal-nouns:
(e.g. for the verb "bulunmak")
a. Bulunma
b. Bulunuş
c. Bulunmak   (Yes, its spelling is the same as the main verb (infinitive form).)

Sample sentences:
- Burada bulunmam seni rahatsız ediyor mu?   (bulunmak -> bulunma) - (a)
- Orada bulunmaktan çok mutluydum.   (bulunmak -> bulunmak) - (c)
- Gelişini ertelemek zorunda kaldı.   (gelmek -> geliş) - (b)
- Kaçması büyük hataydı.   (kaçmak -> kaçma) - (a)
- Piyano çalmaktan büyük zevk alıyorum.   (çalmak -> çalmak) - (c)
- Topu tutuşuna dikkat ediyor musun?   (tutmak -> tutuş) - (b)

The relation between verb and verbal-noun is something like that:
to be present / presence
to arrive / arrival
to meet / meeting

Formulas for deriving verbal-nouns:
a. Dropping ending "k" of the main verb (infinitive form).
(gelme, gitme, uçma, bulunma, kaçma, yorulma, konuşma, yazma, boyama)
b. Cutting "mek/mak" of the main verb (infinitive form) + a suffix in accordance with vowel harmony.
(Suffixes: -ış, -iş, -uş, -üş)
(geliş, tutuş, kaçış, ötüş, batış, doğuş, yüzüş, kopuş, bitiş)
c. The same as the main verb (infinitive form).
(bulunmak, gelmek, kaçmak, çalmak, tutmak, koşmak, yüzmek, doğmak)
