I picked up this digital caliper from Amazon about 3 years ago, indispensable for this sort of thing. Make sure you measure in several places around the filament and average. Filament is rarely round.

I have this Wixey set (do you call them a set?) and have been perfectly happy with them (it?); I bought this model/brand because I was happy with their angle gauge, and the price was right.
Edit: misspelled brand name.
Most of that stuff really isn't that scary to mess with, you just have to do stuff in a specific order and usually loosen up the strings before making any adjustments. Its really more patience than anything.
as for the input jack, it's probably gotten twisted in the socket where it's pressing against the wall/wood and that makes it hard to click the plug in. Just take the whole plate off, loosen up the nut (if it's not loose already) and turn the jack until you can put it back in the hole without it touching the sides. tighten the nut down holding the jack in that spot, then screw the plate back on. That should take care of the plug problem
iif wires have come loose from it, it's super simple to solder them back on. it's only 2 wires, so you can only screw it up once (theoretically).
7-9th fret buzz could be a bunch of different things. once you gt the strings off, use a straight edge and a fret-rocker to see if your frets are all even and the neck relief is correct, and fix those following a tutorial. then put the NEW strings on and go at bridge adjustments. Sometimes just a new set of strings will stop a lot of the buzzing too. figure out how to adjust the bridge for height, radius, and intonation, and after that your guitar should play AMAZING.
And remember to get the same gauge strings, that will make any adjustments a very minor job. if you go up or down in string size, the adjustments need to be a little more drastic so you can save trouble that way. If you don't know the gauge of your strings, find somebody that has one of these, a caliper and you can measure the first + last strings with it to figure out what gauge they are.
