c) There also seems to be a switch (full, custom..) under the AF/MF that I'm unfamiliar with on the lens.

This is exactly your answer to part b). "Full" is normal lens operation, if you set the switch to "set" you can set a range of focus on the screen (though I wish it were a bit more fine grained), putting the switch to "custom" makes the lens limit the possible focus distances to the range you set in "set" mode.

One bit of wisdom I've acquired the hard way. If your camera looks like it should be able to take a photo, but is unresponsive and you cannot figure out what the problem is ... check that this slider is not accidentally knocked to the SET position. Don't ask how I know. Or how many times I've done this before I finally learned to stop panicking and just flip the switch...

haha....thank you for the advice.  I will keep that in mind.
