What happens when one tooth is added or taken away on a sprocket of a motorcycle front and back?

If its a road bike, chances are its geared exactly correctly to match power with top speed.
Essentially if you add teeth to the rear wheel sprocket, you will shorten the gearing and the engine will hit top revs in top gear before the bike reaches top speed.
If you add teeth to the engine sprocket, the opposite effect, less torque in Top Gear leaving the bike short on top speed.

When your in low gear what sprocket are you using?
It depends on whether you are talking about the front sprocket (the one at the pedals, called a chainring) or the sprocket at the rear derailleur. The lowest gear at the front is the smallest sprocket/chainring. The lowest gear at the rear is the largest sprocket. So if you combine the smallest sprocket at the front with the largest sprocket in the rear you have the lowest gear available on your bike.

No way of telling, it depends on how strong or high revving the engine is. Switching to a bigger front sprocket might make the bike faster, but only if the engine is strong enough.
