New Lawn - Should I start again or leave it for now?

Afternoon everyone,
Newbie here and only just getting into gardening and have needed to seed a new lawn. I may have rushed the process and wanted to know if anyone could provide some advice please?
I have two issues. 1. I have moved a large amount of soil. I treaded this down as best as I could before sowing new seed. It has started to sink a little in parts between 1 - 1/2 inch. 2. The soil did have small gravel in it, however i raked this over and it didnt look too bad, since the large downfalls the gravel has really come to the surface and looks awful especially as the new grass is quite patchy. Grass has been down 2 weeks since seeding.
My question is do I wait until next year until the new grass is growing strongly or remove the grass, flatten the lawn (I'll need to buy a roller) and then put a 1 inch of top soil ontop and plant again?
We still have lots to do in this garden. On the left handside is existing grass but it's full of lawn grasses and weeds, but I have planted new grass seed to help it out. On the right hand side, especially top right is the gravelly part.
