As far as the lever goes, if it still works fine, you might try a little clear nail polish on the area that was rashed up. It may bring back the shine and the damage should not be too noticeable.

The 110 reference for the crankset is the bolt pattern. Most standard road cranks are 130. A 110 pattern would be for a compact crank (meaning smaller chain rings).
