I would like to thank all of you, OmegaStarScream & DaveF for the very simple solution (using the electrum wallet) and o_e_l_e_o for explaining me how BIP44 works.
Thank you very much.

Simple answer: On the iancoleman site, under the heading "Derivation Path", change "External / Internal" from 0 to 1. This will show your change addresses under "Derived Addresses".
Slightly longer answer: When you create a bitcoin wallet, the default derivation path for the first address is m/44'/0'/0'/0/0. BIP44 explains what these numbers mean.
The first number is purpose. This is 44 for P2PKH addresses, 49 for P2SH addresses, and 84 for P2WPKH addresses.
The second number is coin type. This is always 0 for bitcoin.
The third number is account. This defaults to 0, but changing this number allows the same seed to generate an entirely different and separate set of addresses.
The fourth number is change. 0 is for external chain (addresses other people will send to) and 1 is for internal chain (addresses which you will send to - i.e. change addresses)
The fifth number is index. Each address is numbered sequentially.
As you can see on the iancoleman site, the addresses you generate will all be m/44'/0'/0'/0/x, with x increasing by 1 with every new address. This is listing all your external addresses. If you change "External / Internal" to 1, it will start generating addresses with m/44'/0'/0'/1/x, which are your change addresses as described above.

There were some issues a while ago with OBs wallets and withdraws.
Don't remember what they were but they were there. Are you on the latest version of their code?
As OmegaStarScream said you should be able to import you seed into electrum. Make sure you only download from the official site https://electrum.org
If you still have issues, the OB developers seem to be responsive on github, so you can probably get to them there. (Did not check other sites to see if they were active)

I'm not familiar with IanColeman's tool, but you can definitely restore your wallet using Electrum.
Follow the steps given here and make sure to tick the BIP39 checkbox in options and m/44'/0'/0' as derivation path.

I've recently bought an item on Openbazaar and after paying, I wanted to withdraw the rest BTCs to my wallet.
I couldn't do it from the Openbazaar's wallet because of "insufficient balance" so I thought I could sweep the rest to my mobile wallet.
So, I inserted the seed to Ian Coleman's web page (offline, downloaded from Github) to search for the private key of the change address (I know the address from the transaction).
The 1st address, of the list, was the one I bought the item.
I've browsed several hundred addresses (one buy one and using ctr-F) without finding the changes address (however the BTC is there, but where)...
Any ideas ??
