Your ' is valid, and there is nothing against you. What you mentioned does not affect its validity. Covering the shoulders in prayer is a according to the majority of scholars. The two rak'ahs of are a confirmed sunnah (sunnah mu'akkadah) and not obligatory according to the majority, and neglecting them does not invalidate the 'umrah. As for omitting some of the prescribed dhikr on Safa, there is nothing in it, as this dhikr is a sunnah and not obligatory, and neglecting it does not invalidate the 'umrah.
