A hug to everyone. I ask for your opinion about one cent on the size of the notch moved at the top, and the pink color inside the stamp. What do you think is it rare example or common mistake?

Common. Normal.

The pink color is the cancel. In this era, black is the most common cancel color, then purple/magenta, then blue, then other colors much more infrequently. I would call this cancel magenta.

The perforation wheels were often set wider around the edges of the sheet in this era, so wider margins are fairly common.

Have here one cent Benjamin Franklin. Half blue half green. Doesn't appear to be any damage on the front or back. My question is, did this coloring happen when they changed the Benjamin Franklin one cent stamp from blue to green and the machine did it? Is it an error?

No error, just environmental damage like sunlight or chemical
