First off the clutch and brake test are best done in 5th gear. Even with decent brakes it's tough to hold an H back in 2nd. And it's much easier to slip a marginal clutch in 5th than in the lower gears.
That issue aside, smoky exhaust could be a couple things: 1 - A tired, oil-burning motor that smokes under load, or 2 - A healthy engine that just hasn't seen a load in a while.
If it's #2 it the exhaust will gradually clear after running 5 - 10+ minutes wide open - quicker if you can get a good load on it.
#1 however will just keep smoking - it may even smoke worse as the engine warms up.

Squealing could be from the brakes, a rusty clutch plate or a severely worn out clutch. Hold the tractor stationary in 5th gear (block the rear wheels or run the front end against a tree) and gradually let out the clutch. You'll know quick whether it's the clutch or the brakes!
