What specifically do the Mormons believe was 'wrong' with the current churches of Joseph Smith's time?
For lack of specificity in the question, the answer will also lack specifics. One thing missing from all Christian churches at the time of the restoration was the power of the priesthood. Not only the priesthood held by Levites, the temple priests of Judaism, but also the higher, or Melchizedek priesthood, held by men such as Moses, Melchizedek, Christ, Peter, James, and John and transferred by the laying on of hands to the Prophet Joseph Smith by Peter James and John. Corrupt doctrine had also found its way into the lifeblood of mainstream christianity. Perversion to true doctrine had become commonplace. Instances of this would be a paid ministry, the trinity as represented by the Nicene Creed, and the idea of "once saved always saved" or universal salvation.
Do Mormons consider themselves a branch of Christianity Where are most Mormons clustered?

What did john smith take control of?
John Smith? Maybe you mean Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith was the first modern prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons). He didn't take over from anyone, he was the first. Technically, Joseph Smith took over from the ancient apostle, Simon Peter, who was with Christ in His ministry. This is why it was Peter, along with James and John, appeared to Joseph Smith and who conferred the rights of the Melchizedek Priesthood Keys upon the head of Joseph Smith, because they passed what they then held in their own possession at Joseph's time, upon him.
How did John get back here to restore the priesthood of Aaron to Joseph Smith Do dead people come back to help us?
Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe that the deceased can interact with the living, especially if they are sent in errand by God. Mormons believe that this occurred throughout the Bible, because 'angels' are the spiritual embodiments of people who have or will live on earth. So, Moroni (a Book of Mormon prophet) returned to teach Joseph Smith about the Book of Mormon. John the Baptist returned to restore the Priesthood of Aaron to Joseph Smith. Peter, James, and John returned to restore the Melchizedek Priesthood to Joseph Smith. Moses, Elias, and Elijah returned to bestow various priesthood keys upon Joseph Smith.
What sacraments do Mormons have?
We have priesthood leaders bless bread while they say a special prayer and then the deacons ( 12 to 14 year old boys) pass it out and then they take the trays back and do the same thing with the water.
Why do mormons consider 'once saved always saved' to be corrupt doctrine when it is supported many times throughout the Bible by the Apostle Paul and others?
Maybe because the Bible is the truth, and Mormonism is a cult.... I'd go with what the Bible says, not what a group of people believe.
What Mormon founder believed he was a prophet?
"Mormons", members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believe that Jesus Christ founded their church by revealing His truth and restoring priesthood authority to Joseph Smith, Jr. They consider Joseph Smith a Prophet, and Jesus Christ the founder of the Church.

Who baptises Mormons?
When Mormons become members of the church, they are baptised by immersion by one holding the priesthood or authority of God. Baptism is a required ordinance that represents the individuals commitment to follow Christ. Baptism can only be administered by an authorized priesthood holder of the Mormon church. Almost all male members of the Mormon church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) hold a level of the priesthood. Most male members ages 16 and up have authority to baptise. Baptism, however cannot be administered by the priesthood holder until approval is received by a church leader who holds priesthood keys or the authority to direct the priesthood in certain cases. Everything must be done in proper order. After baptism, the members record is kept so that the church can be aware of and provide spiritual and temporal support for the needs of the member.
Why do Mormons consider a 'paid ministry' to be corrupt doctrine?
When you are working for the Lord, that is payment in itself
