Is there a way to make my links so they're not blue and underlined. Also, sometimes when I use the anchor icon it changes the font size of the target.

Be aware that a lot of readers do not honor that for links...

do not use "color: black", but "color: inherit", so the link uses the color of the surrounding text (which may be white on black).

Also be aware that if the resulting ebook is viewed on a b&w eink screen, the reader will have no visual indication that a word (or words) IS a link without the underline. I find it's usually best to just let links do what links do.

If it's just in the HTML ToC (or other places where links are expected/assumed), that's one thing, but in other places; a link that's the same color of the surrounding text (with no underline, or other decoration) is a link not likely to be used ... b&w/color, eink OR lcd.
