1. Wiring the main LED and accent LEDs in parallel is fine.
2. Your resistor value is fine for the main LED
3. They'll probably light up, but they might be underpowered. Running them in series will require a forward voltage of LED1+LED2 (3.3v + 2v = 5.3v) which is less than your single li-ion will provide. You could more easily run them each parallel with their own resistor. Check the link in my sig for a resistor calculator.
4. Yes. You can put the resistor on either leg, and it will run fine.
5. Recharge port looks correct.
See if you can get your wiring diagram redone to fix the (+) and (-) issue, and I'll take another look at it. It's looking good other than that.
