What happened to all those who were affected by Avraham?
Simple. They became better people, but they didn't care to send their children to the yeshivat Shem and Ever. Perhaps they believed in good so much, saying:: "We went to public schools and became good people, so our children too..."
Power of Jewish education.

This generation will fix up all prior generations
That was also true of ALL previous generations. By definition the last generation whichever it is will fix up all prior generations. Just as a.mrxuzah completes the building of a house and gets a. brocha, the last generation of golus gets the brocha and turns the building/world into His home

The generation of Babel were good to each other
but were engaged in a bad endeavor, fhe tower of Babel. So the reward, the good that was coming to them was covered with a kelipa and so didn't really benefit. This good was taken by Avraham
imagine a group of mafioso. who do bad to others but good to each other. They deserve reward for that good is blocked by kelipa.

it's good to forgive
But....can the families of all the victims of the Shemini Atzeres War forgive those who perpetrated these horrendous. crimes?

if you hurt or harmed or damaged anothef
it's not enough to say "sorry". Sorry is good but insufficient. You must ALSO repair that which you damaged.

The generation of the flood was worse and so
they were wiped out. Not so the generation of Babel who were only spread out and not wiped out. But...it says that the former has it better in the next world while the latter have it worse..
How is this possible?
the answer is the same for the explanation why good people suffer today and evil people seem to prosper.
The answer to that is simply that, since the chait eitz Hadassah, good and evil are mixed. No one is completely good and. despite our tzDddikim no one is 100% good either. The explanation is that evil people who do a little good here are rewarded here and go up with no merits,while good people who fo a little bad are punished here abd go up with no demerits.
The same for the apparent contradiction between thd heavenly treatment for the generation of the flood and that of Babel.
The generation of the flood was bad to each other but did a little good to Hashem and so were punished here, like the good person who suffers here and now, but go up without demerits. Contrast with the generation of Babel who were good to each other but not good to Hashem. They were rewarded by only being dispersed down here but Llowed to live for the little bad they did here and then went up without merits.
i.e. the difference between those 2 generations and fheir concomitant punishment and reward matches what is done even today to good and evil people .Same Explanation

"Avraham received the reward for all of them"
So, therefore, there was some reward to be had. So, those generations were nit all bad!
