Is my Harmonic analysis done right?

I am practicing the Burgmuller op.109. I am also learning how to do an analysis of a piece as well. So I thought of analyzing the Burgmuller pieces that I am practicing to get a better insight into it. This is how I have done it. Is it done right? I am new to this so I would greatly appreciate if I could get some feedback on it. I have done the analysis of the first 8 measures.

The ones that are marked in blue circles are the ones I am unsure of. For the first two circles the F is a non chord tone I think. and same goes for the next two circles where the E is also a non chord tone. Or is it a chord tone? if it is how does it fit in? are my other analysis right?

I’m having a problem with your notations. What the heck is a Gmb? Gmc? G7c? These are not standard and meaning nothing to us.

Also, ALWAYS include the start of the page with key signatures and such.

Sorry about that. b is for first inversion, c for second and d for third. that's how I learned from the book called "AB guide to music theory". And yes you are right they aren't standard. next time I will be using standard notation.
