Well the jewellery should still be in the piercing, you never remove jewellery from an infected piercing unless it's the jewellery that caused the issue in the first place. Mall bought jewellery is junk and will cause reactions that will often look like and infection. Make sure you have the original jewellery in the piercing and leave it in until your situation has improved.

Should you get a hoop or barbell the first time you get your navel pierced?
Any good piercer won't allow you to get a hoop. If your piercer gives you the option then he/she doesn't really know what they are talking about and you need to find a piercer who will ONLY pierced you with a barbell. Hoops can get infected easier and migrate quicker. Barbells still have a huge risk of getting infected, because it is a navel piercing and they do get infected quite easily unless properly taken care of, but hoops can get infected much easier.
Is it possible to have too small a navel flap to get it pierced successfully?
It is possible, but actually rare. Even people that dont have a very defined navel "lip" can still get a navel piercing; it is what you call getting a shallow piercing, meaning there is not much skin to pierce through. I have seen successful healing with shallow piercings, and I have also seen some that are not so successful. Talk to your piercer about whether or not it is a good idea for you to get one.
