Existence of solution for a system of quadratic diophantine equations / symmetric quadratic froms
This is just an extended comment, giving reformulation of the problem and reducing it to just $p-1$ unknowns and $p-1$ quadratic equations over the Gaussian integers.
Consider the generating ...

Generalization of the geometric series representation of the Kronecker delta for arbitrary lattices
The approach indicated by @AlexanderKalmynin is a good heuristic, for sure.
Still, there is a somewhat larger context that may be more explanatory, depending on one's tastes.
Namely, we can see that ...

Generalization of the geometric series representation of the Kronecker delta for arbitrary lattices
If $h'=h$, then for each $h''\in L^*$ one has $\exp(2\pi iQ(h-h',h''))=1$, so your sum is equal to
$$
|\det Q|^{-1} |L^*/L|=1.
$$
On the other hand, if $h\neq h'$, then there is an element $h_0\in L^*/...

Calculating the explicit constant – Siegel zeros and class numbers
One place to find this worked out in detail is the paper "On the Siegel-Tatuzawa theorem" by Jeffrey Hoffstein (published in 1980 in Acta Arithmetica). Lemma 1 of that paper states that if $\...

Duke and Schulze-Pillot condition for equidistribution
I recommend that you study the paper by Duke and Schulze-Pillot, Representation of integers by positive ternary quadratic forms and equidistribution of lattice points on ellipsoids (Inventiones, 1990)....
