I did a little research and you have the Honda 110cc horizontal clone engine fully automatic.

You accidentally put oil in the flywheel view port hole. Not a problem just clean it all out.

When you put it in gear it should try to move forward, you need to hold the brake until ready to go, this is normal. If it seems like it is trying to move forward with too much power then your idle is set too high. Idle should be 1300-1500rpm when in neutral .

The smoke coming from the front of the engine. 1 Oil burning off from where you put it in the wrong hole. 2 Exhaust manifold leak. 3 Oil spilt on the front of the motor or motor just dirty from sitting for a long period of time. When cold, start the engine and immediately put your hand down by the exhaust manifold and feel and listen for a leak (dont get burned). If you find a leak first try tightening the two manifold bolts. If that doesn't stop an exhaust leak then you need to purchase a new exhaust manifold gasket. They cost like .35 cents on Ebay.

Your transmission is fully automatic, there is no adjustment. (i have the same motor in my scooter)

Running rough is either your new carb is not adjusted correctly or you have an air leak from installing the new carb. Make sure you used all the correct gaskets for your new carb. Should be a rubber O-ring gasket at the carb/manifold pipe connection and it needs to be installed in the correct direction and a paper gasket at the manifold pipe engine connection. There are 100's of YouTube videos on how to correctly adjust the carb. It can be tricky but now is the perfect time to learn. You also need to watch some videos on how to check your spark plug for running too rich or too lean.

I think you almost have it figured out, sounds like you have done all the right things. You just need a little fine tuning now.

Forgot to mention you need to check/adjust your valves. Relatively easy just watch all the YouTube videos.
