Hi
The reason for the backfiring is bad connection with the cylinders. Check whether the plug wires going to the right cylinders. If no, correct that to fix the backfiring. Also for power check the choke and fuel filter?

You have to remove the parts to see where the leak is. Remove the manifold carefully to preserve the evidence. You can check the manifold mating surface with a straightedge.

Get your car to a transmission shop right away! You may have not damaged it beyond repair, but you will soon if you keep doing what you say you're doing to it.

That shop is responsible for any damage outside of the fix. If the plug hit the piston severe damage may have resulted. Use a magnet to try to remove the broken zerk. Make sure you are using the correct plug.
