1) that's either an overload or a brown out. either way, you're running too many cars, or too much magnets in your cars, for the base and power supply to handle it.
2) See if you can figure out what's keeping it from moving. You might need to take it apart underneath, but it's not terribly complicated under there. Look for gunk, glue, rust, or even broken wires or things stuck places they don't look like they should be. Clean things up so that the flippers can move freely when it's all put together, and try again.
3) not really. stopping on dead spots is usually a problem of too strong magnets that bog down the car, and people still learning how to driver properly. If the car is too stuck down, then it will be hard to drive smoothly, and will stick and stop at dead spots like that. Open the cars up and see if they have more than one magnet. If so, take one out.
4) the gray things are supports for banked curves.
5) that's the Sport World control center. It was pretty cool in it's time, but it's for analog car control.
BTW, The 4 car base is carp. If you like digital, get the new 6 car base.
