A. Both are incorrect. It's after/when he was done with homework.
after and when mean almost the same thing in this context.

B. Again, both mean about the same. bring to is a very direct way of saying it. It can sound more urgent an

He went to watch TV after he's done with homework.

He went to watch TV when he's done with homework.

The sentence should be: He went to watch TV after he'd done his homework.

Both:
after he was done with homework
after he had done his homework

are OK.

Simple past may be used here (avoiding the past perfect) because the sequence of tenses is clear.
