That will hopefully blow any excess oil out while letting the cylinder walls get lubed a bit at the same time.
The carb will need rebuilt before you actually drive it but if you use a small container to gently pour gas down the bowl vent tube of the carb you can fill the float bowl and should be able to fire up the engine and run it for maybe 30 seconds or a bit longer.
As far as the points, as long as they aren't corroded on the contact surface (you can take an emery board and buff them a bit) and they open and close right I wouldn't do anything with the until I did the whole tuneup thing later. If it doesn't need changing don't change it right now.

I understand what some of this means but I'll have to look into what you're talking about with the carb. I can't even identify it.
What steps do I need to follow for removing the plugs, spraying mystery oil, and cranking the engine? Am I cranking the engine by turning the fan?
