Will I be denied an ESTA?

I was on a J-1 intern visa in January 2019, traveling through the US immigration pre-clearance in Dublin Airport Ireland. I was taken to the back area for extra questioning and denied entry because my paperwork was not complete. I had not filed my internship DS-7002 within 90 days (sponsor told me it was 120 days) of arriving, stupidly left the US for christmas and was not able to fly back to US that day until I had it fixed. I stayed in Ireland for an extra 2 weeks, sorted out my DS-7002 and successfully entered with no issues after that.

I am now living in Ireland and want to visit the US in the future as a tourist with ESTA but I’m worried I will be denied the ESTA as they will likely ask on the application if I’ve ever been refused entry to the US and I will have to answer yes. Anyone know if this is likely?

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
