The f 350 should have a steering stabilizer on the cross tie rod. it looks like a shock absorber bolted to the rod. They do fail and that what happens when they fail. hit a hole and no control.

Most likely wire inside steering column has rubbed a bare spot and is shorting. Short term fix is disconnect horns. Might check horn relay first by tapping with broom handle of such.
Absolutely. The longer you drive it that way , it will tear other parts of the steering and suspension up. The parts are not made to take that kind of abuse.
Check the left cluster of four buttons on the steering wheel, below volume controls etc. Hit the top button, you'll hear a beep, and say 'Phone Setup'. You'll be presented with a number of options for what to say next, but you'll want to hit the same button, and I believe 'Pair'.
The first thing I would check for is a bent wheel. If the wheel is straight than the next thing to check would be a separated tire.
The tread on the tire should be smooth and even all the way around. If it is bulging out in a spot than the tire is separated.
Since the steering wheel is not straight I would suspect there is more to the story. Did you hit a curb or a pothole? If so you may have also bent some suspension components (worst case) or best case knocked the alignment out.
If your are turning the wheel to the "sweet spot" like you said, and you are using the right key, do you have a second key that still won't work? Then ignition lock tumblers are worn. You or dealer has to fix.
Worst case scenario is a bent chassis but that is unlikely. More likely will be a bent lower control arm. This cannot be repaired but it is easily replaced. If nothing else is bent, it will need wheels to be aligned and you are away again. Whole jod should take a couple of hours.
take the vehicke back to auto repaire no sense of you loosing any more money have them check and reopen the insurance claim let them know of the situation at hand yes that is mor than possible direct hit on tire is all inclusive to hit let me know if you need any help with that
Most probable cause in this order is Idler arm, bent suspension parts, worn Steering gear box. Was undercarriage or wheels subject to hit, large potholes? Has suspension been lubed recently.
