I would keep this a bit higher, say 3-4 ppm
CC 0.5-1.0 (was hard to tell, appeared clear after 1 drop, but then became slightly pink after sitting for a minute, so we added another drop)
The test will revert to pink on standing, ignore that. If it turned colorless in one drop you are done. Keeping your FC a bit higher like I suggested should eliminate any CC problems.
pH 7.8
Upper limit of where you want it. When it goes higher add come acid and bring it back down. I like to keep a pool around 7.6 but as low as 7.4 is one and 7.2 is acceptable.
TA 110 ppm
Fine for now. If you find your pH keeps rising too fast then you can lower this. If your pH stays fairly stable then don't worry about it. The natural tendency is for pH to rise, btw.
CH 140 ppm (vinyl pool, don't think this matters much)
It's fine for a vinyl pool. CH only becomes a problem for vinyl when it's very high, say over 400 ppm.

CYA - We guess maybe a bit less than (but near) 30 ppm... We could still faintly see the dot at the 30 ppm mark. We actually went to the top and the dot was still extremely faintly visible.
Needs to be slightly higher, you want it somewhere between 30-50 ppm.
Now, I need to find out what to do with these numbers.
You just did!
You are doing great!
