"Still it makes me happy to think of this time from my past."
Is this a correct sentence or do I, for instance, need to change the word order "Still it" into "It still" ?

If you place a comma after 'still', it will sound natural. However, the meaning is different: with the comma, 'still' modifies the whole sentence, not just 'makes'.

I think, " still " should put it after it : It still makes me happy to think of this time from my past.
