please help me diagnose these three problems!

You know for the teeth of the timing belt, I thought there was only one belt for the 7M motor/s...?
On my 7M-GTE motor, I have a 159 tooth timing belt.
If someone can confirm they are the same as the N/A models, then it would be 159.

I would be interested in knowing if N/A's have different belts than Turbos.

Edit: I would be very cautious of a heating problem. Overheating can crack blocks (seen it happen on a 7M) and can warp the head too.

If you are on a road and you have a temp spike, it may be so fast and you may not even notice, while the needle could be beyond where the gauge reads or intended to even measure.
