Welcome to Yorkie Talk. For pad training, limit your puppy's freedom to a smallish area with the pad. Don't give her free run of the house until she is fully trained. When you can supervise, the area can be one room where you are. When you can't supervise, an xpen with the pad or a small room is best.
Yorkies tend to be energetic and feisty, especially when puppies. She is very young and testing boundaries with the biting. Also, she is likely teething. Give her safe things to chew on, which can include soft toys. Supervise and check toys for damage. Many Yorkies are toy destroyers and can get into trouble eating stuffing.
Teach her "no bite." Say it in a serious manner, but not angrily. You can also cross your arms across your chest, taking your hands away from the biting, and yelp like a dog would if bitten. If you are playing with her and she won't stop biting on command, get up and leave her. Withdrawing attention can be very effective for unwanted behavior.
For barking, you can try rattling a can with pennies and give the command "quiet" or "no bark."
Check YouTube for training videos for barking. There are some great ones.
Work on training daily. Puppies tend to learn things quickly. Use a single kibble or very small treat for each reward. Teach her basic commands like sit, stay, and so on. Working on training and having a basic daily routine has a calming effect. Try having a routine of meals, grooming, brief training sessions, play time, etc at the same time or intervals each day.
Play fetch for 5 - 15 minutes several times a day. A little bit of growling is normal for Yorkies while playing fetch. Zoomies, running around like crazy is also normal.
