'b'uild - paved r'o'ads

if you need to remove them for a building a dirt r'O'ad is sufficient

What does drainage means on embark screen?
Does it have any connection with murky pools? (low drainage = lower number of pools ?)
Or is it connected with aquifier?

Low drainage and lots of rain = swamp. Probably including aquifer and lots of murky pools too.

How do you get rid of all the fungi and stuff from floors in your fort?
Why would you want to get rid of it, that stuff is valuable.

More seriously, paved roads.  You can also place grates or bars over areas that you want to remain clear of growth (e.g. sand and clay collection zones).  Unpaved roads will clear cave moss temporarily, but it will grow back (of course).

Just designate the area as a stockpile that doesnt accept anything. afaik trees n stuff dont grow through it (but it doesnt remove them either).

Really? Like trees grow fully instantly?
I wouldn't know, I only stop growth in areas like drainage systems or cisterns - and for that a stockpile is fine. Even more so since you do not have to send dwarf to designate/build it.

basically, if there was a sapling where you placed the stockpile, it'll stay there (unless trafficked but I'm not sure). The game tracks how long it's there and when it's time it 'grows', but under the stockpile it can't. Remove the stockpile and after a few ticks the game suddenly realises it's a grown tree there, not a sappling. I'm not sure what the actual game mechanic is there, but I've had that happen a few times if I relocated my initial storage areas (usually dug out in soil layers) to work related lower levels.

How do I change the keys to move in the overworld of adventure mode.  I have the normal controls mapped to my liking, but can't figure out how to modify the overworld ones.

I'm not really sure. Possibly boosts your military, or training, and certainly gives some people happy thoughts

That's all it does, if I recall correctly.  He or she is just another noble who does nothing but potentially gives "talked with a noble" thoughts.
