Was Noah (peace be upon him) the first of the prophets and the father of humanity after Adam (peace be upon him), and did the Flood that occurred during his time encompass the entire Earth or was it confined to his locality?

The first of the prophets was Adam, peace be upon him, and God spoke to him. As for Noah, peace be upon him, he is the father of the second humanity after the flood that destroyed everyone on Earth except those who were with him in the ark, and all humans existing now are descendants of Noah.
