Session Management Function (SMF) has a part of SGW and PGW from LTE-EPC. It is mainly resposinble for session establishment, modification and release. It allocates IP address to UE and configures the UPF to meet promised QoS to UE and also does traffic steering.

5G: How does Access and Management Function i.e. AMF select Session Management Function i.e. SMF ?

If I compare SMFs of the 5G network against the SGWs of LTE network then what would be criteria of SMF selection in AMF ?
In the LTE network, MME selects SGW for an UE based on the location of eNodeB so that it can minimize frequent change of SGW due to mobility.

5G: How network registration is different in 5G core compare to LTE core ?

In LTE network, UE registers with network using attach procedure. MME supports couple of states such as EMM-REGISTERED, EMM-DEREGISTERED to maintain the status of UE registration.
