Leveling is pretty rough when you first start out, so don't feel too bad about it. One thing I can suggest is to use a feeler gage instead of paper. I use the 0.1 mm one on this one. You can more accurately measure the height that way, but you'll likely want to clean the bed with alcohol before printing, because the feeler gage set has a coating of oil on it.
As others have said, you'll need to raise your z limit switch to use the glass bed. You want to roughly adjust the height before you set the z switch height. Tighten your bed level points until the springs are fully compressed, then loosen them about 3 turns or so. Manually move the nozzle to the center of the bed and down far enough to touch. Then loosen the z limit screws and raise switch to touch the x gantry. Tighten it there and then start the level process.
The only thing that I can think of for the prints stopping is maybe the extruder isn't assembled correctly. Try wiggling the arm up and down. If it has play, you need to tighten the pivot screw more. While you are messing with that, make sure the other screws are tight, and see if you can turn the pull when there's no pressure on it. It should be able to turn freely, and it shouldn't wiggle up and down either.
Actually, now that I think about it, is it because of the SD card slot? I imagine if you pulled the SD card during a print it would do exactly what you described.
As far as the SD card, you'll either have to replace the whole board, or use octoprint. I can highly recommend octoprint, though. It let's you print from your pc, without using the SD card. Once you have it set up, you can print directly from cura, with an add on in the cura marketplace. (well, on cura 3.x. I'm not sure on cura 4.0 yet, as I haven't messed with it too much.)
Cura is actually pretty good, it'll do pretty much anything you need it to.
Re: auto bed leveling, it's helpful, but it was a pain to set up for me, and you'll either need to order the Creality kit or print a mount for it.
I haven't had any problems with Hatchbox pla. It's one of the better ones I've used.
This hobby is pretty great once you get started, but the learning curve is pretty steep. Don't feel embarrassed about asking for help! I've only been printing for a few months now, and the community is pretty great!
