Is it possible to delete all data in a table or maybe delete specific rows from a table? Also, can I look up data in a column and update that amount in another column? Thanks

Yes, if you are referring to the data editor, you can select individual rows and press the delete key to delete them.  
If you are referring to deleting through the app, that is also a yes. The Delete Row action can delete in individual rows as well as delete multiple rows through a relation.

Yes, you can use user a Set Column action to set a value.

It looks like you are taking the operating balance and writing it to itself, so that’s why it seems like it’s not doing anything. Change the drop down in your action to write the current balance to the operating balance instead.

Do Question Marks in a Relation column mean an error or not a relation?

The relation column will pull back a random value… a question mark is fine… Click on the question mark… you can see into the relation and even scroll through the matches.
