None whatsoever.

All the mass of all the spacecraft ever sent into orbit totals less mass than one week's worth of meteor impacts on the Earth. Most of that mass is either still in orbit around the Earth (and so "counts" as part of the Earth for gravitational purposes) or has already crashed back to Earth anyway.

Even if we were to start moving asteroids around so that we could harvest the minerals conveniently in Earth orbit, it would have practically zero impact on the Earth, the Moon or the remainder of the solar system.

How come all of the planets are spherical?

No planet is spherical, that would imply they are completely smooth. All Planets are roughly spherical because of the process of planetary formation. That is that asteroids group together under the influence of gravity, this cluster of asteroids would have its own gravitational field, and therefore attract more asteroids. More asteroids means more gravity, which means still more asteroids. So you get this runaway effect where more and more asteroids are being drawn together while the asteroids in the middle are starting to get squashed. Once you have a big enough ball of asteroids it becomes a good estimation to say 'It's roughly spherical'. If the ball is massive enough it can even start pulling in the surrounding gasses, forming an atmosphere.


What do the outer planets affect?

They affect each other, and all the other planets, due to their gravitational attraction. In particular, Jupiter affects the "Trojan" and "Greek" asteroids, Saturn affects the "centaurs", and Neptune has a large effect on the trans-Neptunian objects.
