There are so many picture adjustment features in Premiere Elements 2019 that it is difficult to know where to start e.g. there are fixes such as smart tone, color, color (RGB), gamma correction, lighting, temperature & tint and fX such as haze removal and color correction. Is there a recommended order in which these should be applied for best results? I am working on video converted from standard 8mm movie film and some scenes are badly under/over exposed. What would be the best approach?

That sort of depends on what issues you're trying to fix.

Elements is not really equipped for color correction as one needs scopes (waveform, vectorscope, rgb parade) to see what one is doing.
In your case its a bit of trial and error. I would stick to Gamma, Color and Temperature and Tint.
General order of correction:
Black and white level
White balance
Contrast
Shadow/highlight
Saturation/vibrance.

I just mean generally improving the picture.
That proces is called color correction.

The order I gave you is how it should be done but
Elements is not equiped to do proper CC.
Use the effects I mentioned and then its trial and error.
