I have a question about using the paint brush for product photo editing. I watched a tutorial in which the teacher's brush displayed like a target, with one larger circle and one smaller circle inside. It seemed to provide more control. How do I get this?

Something I have strong feelings about. It just makes so much sense to have cross hairs turned on. Perfect alignment with the Clone tool for instance.

If you happen to use Lazy Nezumi Pro you have yet more options. This is the 'Mega Crosshair' (you have to read that in a deep and loud voice )

CC2018's brush smoothing is probably on a par with LNP, but does not come with the wealth of added features that LNP gives us. It's a bit cheeky that Adobe have used exactly the same terminology with their Smoothing feature, and I believe that was without discussing with the LNP author.
