The little ink spot on the V. Would this be a net grade?

No, the note would not NET grade because of that ink smear but that doesn't meat it still won't due to other issues. If the graders find any that is.

It's very difficult to say without seeing an image of the entire note, and even then I probably couldn't say with any certainty. You really need to examine a note in-hand. Based on what you've posted so far the note looks to be in pretty rough shape and is probably more likely than not to receive a NET grade, it looks badly wrinkled and stained, has several folds, lots of little tears at the edges and has probably been pressed to flatten it. Sometimes there are so many small little problems with the note that all of them combined will yield a NET grade. I think the tears, and if it was pressed, would cause the note to NET grade. That little ink smear is the least of this notes problems.

Sometimes there are so many small little problems with the note that all of them combined will yield a NET grade. I think just the tears would cause the note to NET grade, and if it was pressed it would for sure NET grade. That little ink smear is the least of this notes problems. 

And by being pressed down what does that exactly mean?

I dont see any tears let me send a picture of the other side it looks much better. 

The area I circled looks like it could have small tears at the edge of the note, maybe it's just creasing hard to say from a pic. A note can only grade as high as it's worst side.

Placing a note in a book for example to "flatten" it and make if more presentable.

I don't know if it will be given a NET designation or not, but based on the pics it seems that there is a definite possibility that it could.

I don’t think it’s been flattened. I put it in a hard plastic case that kind of pushes down on it. Can that cause it?

The note should be fine in that case, if storing it long term make sure the case is PVC free.
