If an Ethernet destination address is 07-01-02-03-04-05 then this is a unicast or a multicast address?

It is a multicast address.
If we convert first (it is highest) octet to binary form, we'll see it like this:
00-00-01-11
Because the least bit (last bit from left to right in this line) of the highest octet is set to 1, this address is considered as multicast and is flooded to all points of ethernet network.

What would happen when you manually added an entry you entered the correct i p address but the wrong Ethernet address for that remote interface?
Once the router/adaptor received the destination IP address (even if we entered in the incorrect MAC address) the router/adapter would remove the IP address from the Ethernet frame and using ARP, would get the correct MAC address of the destination
What is a private MAC address?
A MAC address is unique to your ethernet card. MAC addresses are used within an Ethernet network to uniquely identify the source and destination of Ethernet frames. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used on IP networks to map IP addresses to MAC addresses within an Ethernet network.

Why does destination mac address come before source mac address in an ethernet frame?
The destination MAC is before the source one for easier scanning, mostly because it is the destination device that is important as that is the device we are trying to reach.
