"Tried to take it apart" seems to indicate that you didn't get it apart. If you want to straighten the lever properly that's the only way you are going to get it straight. If there are any other problems they will be revealed during the taking apart process. Back off, pedestal off, planetary off and split the cases.

By unlocks I have to assume that the mixer head can be lifted up during operation (yes that's really messy ans in some cases maybe even dangerous) I have to assume that you also mean the the head lock switch is not engaging, You have to take the mixer apart to re attach the mixer lock switch. There are several really good videos on youtube that shows step by step procedure for taking the mixer apart. you will see the switch when you have the mixer apart. tighten the screw down tight enough to make the switch engage again. Re-assemble the mixer.

Do you have a manual? You can download one from Kitchen Aid, small appliances. There should be a schematic and how to that will help.

Remove the back rubber "feet". They are slotted to to hold the two main pieces together.

There should be a few screws on the underside that will allow you to remove the top. You may have to take the head off the base to do this.

if you can take it apart easy and not break any part of it and remember exactly how it was then yes. but you can get a new hand mixer for 10 bucks.

You can see the parts breakdown HERE. It looks like there are 3 screws on the bottom...

In taking apart my same beater, I'm trying to figure out the alignment of the spring which provides the tension so that the beaters won't fall out. I'd assume that your spring has mis-aligned. You need to take it apart (3 Philips screws), and carefully pull the assembly apart. I'll bet your spring falls out like mine did. I'm trying to find a schematic from Sunbeam to see how the spring should align.
