Well, my son asked me that today. If the earth's land mass was perfectly spherical, the entire earth would be submerged in 200 feet of ocean, everywhere. That would be pretty flat and smooth. Contrary to other posts, the weather would be more homogeneous since it would not have the land/water temperature differences. This would be a completely different world.

A lot! Mountains and valleys play a major part in influencing the weather. With the Earth totally smooth, there would be a lot more wind and rain, evenly dispersed all over ( no deserts, swamps, ect.)
Weather might worsen in some areas such as the eastern united states - without the Appalacian Mountains, it would get more of the weather from the western states and Canada.

Besides weather and basic geological happenings, I don't think much would change. The Earth is already smooth in a sense. That's why people on Antartica aren't upside down. Their up is our down, and vice versa.

If you reduce the earth to the size of a cue ball, the earth would be smoother. It's already pretty smooth.

I don't know but some day it will be. The continents of the earth will come back together as they once were and the earth will be a Celestial Kingdom.
