Would it be possible in SmartRace in fuel settings to have an option to fuel automatically (like it is now) or to have to hold the lane change button to fuel (like Carrera actually is)?

Unfortunately SmartRace doesn't know whether the lane change button is being pressed, since the Control Unit doesn't pass this info on to any connected apps. :-(

That sucks, I hate that someone can quickly pull through the pit begin fueling and leave the pit while still getting fuel going around the track. I don't think the half throttle is slow enough.

Idea: Automatically penalize drivers who pass any check lane or start/finish while still being "in the pits". This could/would force drivers to make sure they "leave the pits" (meaning pressing throttle hard enough).

That could work. By automatically do you mean SmartRace could be made to do this?

Yes. SmartRace can't control the pit stop beginning and ending, but it can detect it.

Should I post this idea?

Yeah, that would be great! :-)
