Answer 1

Using the scroll-behavior CSS property:

(which is supported in modern browsers but not Edge):

a {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 5px 7%;
  text-decoration: none;
}

nav, section {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto;
  text-align: center;
}

nav {
  width: 350px;
  padding: 5px;
}

section {
  width: 350px;
  height: 130px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  border: 1px solid black;
  font-size: 0; 
  scroll-behavior: smooth;    /* <----- THE SECRET ---- */
}

section div{
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  height: 100%;
  font-size: 8vw;
}
