By accident I input that I lived outside the US for more than 6 months. How did I fix this? I was in the US the full year.

Did you ever figure this out? I just did the same thing and can’t figure out how to correct it!

Deductions & credits
Let's start with the 'My Info' page (left black panel) to be sure you did not select that you lived in a Foreign or US Possession under Tell us the state(s) you lived in.
Next check the earned income credit section (EITC) by selecting Deductions and Credits
- Edit beside Earned Income Credit (EIC)
- Continue until you reach the question: Did you live in the U.S. for more than six months in 2020 (see image below)

I have a similar question but for my dependents. It lists only one of my two dependents as living in America for more than 6 months, and I have no idea where to change this.

Deductions & credits
In TurboTax Online, access dependent information as follows:
- Down the left side of the screen, click My Info.
- Scroll down to the name of the dependent that you are concerned about. Click Edit to the right.
- Review the interview questions, especially at the screen How many months did the dependent live with you?
A qualifying child must have lived with you more than half the year. A qualifying relative must have lived with you all year.

These options don't exist. TurboTax tax gives us questions to answer and then gives us no way to get back to change those questions like they did in past years.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE HIDDEN! it defeats the entire point of using a software.

Deductions & credits
There are a few places where you could have indicated you lived outside the US. In the MY INFO section, where you give your 'current mailing address' is one place.
Also, to qualify for certain credits (like the Earned Income Credit), you can indicate that you lived outside the US. Also for the the Home Energy Credit.
Since we can't see your return in this forum, you may want to revisit your Deductions & Credits topics to see where you could have entered this info.
Another option is to Clear & Start Over.
