Ollie cries and doesn't listen to you because she is still just a little baby. She may be having some minor adjustments in terms of being away from her mom and littermates, but mostly puppies are just crying out because they want attention or some resource. She is biting right now because she is in the teething phase of her development. Simply make sure she has ample toys and items to destroy. You should always keep one on your person to make sure you can hand it to her if she starts to bite something inappropriate. If she takes the toy instead, make sure to reward her appropriately. In time and with consistency, she will eventually chew on only the items that you have given to her. The more you train her and the more consistent you are, the more likely she is going to listen to you in the long term. She mostly isn't listening to you yet because she doesn't really know any commands yet at this age. Depending on what you plan on utilizing your puppy for, the most basic of commands are likely all that is required for a suitable household companion. Consider teacher her sit, down, stay, come, and heel first before anything more advanced. All of these can be taught with positive reinforcement using food as a motivating tool. Judging by your statement that she eats very well, this shouldn't be a problem! Hope this helps!
