First, what's your definition of a "topic sentence"? :D Second, a sentence has a subject and a verb. As for added information (i.e., clauses, phrases functioning as adjectives and adverbs), it's not part of the sentence proper.
The paragraph you've given us is somewhat complex in structure, so it would be best if you would parse/outline its structure for us in the way that you see it, so we can get a better idea of what you're seeing.
All the best, :D
