For your number 2 problem, I'm thinking that the filament is probably stripped. We fixed that by taking the top plastic casing off of the cartridge and putting the side with the coil in the printer and loading the print jet. Then begin to print the test print so that the jet heats up, then, right after it starts to print, cancel the print and pull the filament from the middle part. (Pulling the filament out of the jet) continue to pull the filament until it's completely out of the gears. Once you're done with that, looking down the length of the filament, you'll see a part where the filament was stripped (It will be thinner). Cut that piece off so you have a fresh filament. Create (In CAD) a 3D model that has a really really large perimeter. Start to print that and wait for the printer to start trying to feed plastic. Feed the filament into the gears and it should start to go down the plastic tube.
