2- And for future drafts how do I sim it so it actually puts the correct players on the correct teams?
OOTP's historical module is designed to where the pre-1901 major leagues are plausible but not actually historical. This is because - unlike from 1901 on - MLB in the 1800's was very unstable: lots of contraction & expansion from year to year, and so forth, and coding for this would likely be difficult... Therefore, because OOTP's pre-1901 teams are not historically accurate, historical transactions cannot be enabled prior to 1901.

I'll note that there are workarounds for pretty accurate pre-1901 historical play. However, they involve significant manual work and I'd not recommend that a new gamer such as yourself get involved in that just yet. Instead, have some fun with your 1919 league first
