That was very drastic pruning. Please let us know how it progresses.
The parts you prunned of takes root really easy if you want a back up plant.

No, dont repot until the plant has regained vigour. It can wait at least 6 months.
The white dots is minerals from the water you give it. It can be sprayed of easily.

Is it still tempting if you kill it? No? Then do NOT repot.
As for the wiring.. As said before -I know, you do not want my advice-, wiring does not do anything for this species. It is NOT a woody plant, but a succulent. So it keeps in shape by water pressure. Once you remove the wire it will slowly rediect the shape again.
Really.. If you are getting into bonsai, do not set yourself up for long term just-does-not-get-there, and start with species better suited.
