Not entirely sure what caused all of the overheating.

This post paints a clearer picture. The heat damage most likely occurred due to friction. You had to have picked up a piece of wire or something metallic that jammed in there between the chain and drum. A piece of wood/bark would’ve just smoked out. Sounds like it got extremely hot.
Sorry to say, but that’s gonna get filed under ‘User Error’ all day long. At least it’s running, so that’s good news. I wish you all the best.

Edit: As per your first question about checking the oiler, just run the saw a bit with the cover and bar off. You’ll be able to see it come out. Occasionally I’d run a 50/50 mix of oil and gas through to help clean it out.
