As far a the running issue, I would remove the air filter and give it a quick shot of starter fluid before cranking to see what it does. Make sure you are charging the battery between attempts. If it sputters to life you know almost certainly that you have a fuel-related issue. Did you check the inline filter inside the fuel line at the carb inlet for a blockage? You may need to have the carbs professionally cleaned and adjusted. There could be an issue with the carb diaphragms also. Pull the fuel line, apply vacuum to the petcock, and confirm flow.

For the transmission, I would make sure you have gotten it into 1st gear. Keep tapping down while rocking the bike forward and back. It would be odd if it were stuck in gear and wouldn't change. I'm thinking it may not be in 1st, and you are clicking up looking for neutral from a higher gear.
