Ginger, I have a 92 as well, bought used. Your rigging may not be as bad as it looks once you've sorted it all out.
The subject of inspecting and serviceing every attachment point on these boats has been discussed extensively on this forum and should be given high priority .......a screw pulling out of your standing rigging while on the water is horrible to imagine never mind what would happen if it actually did!
Holes! yikes! the good news is that every marine supply store carries sail repair tape in a variety of colours as well as clear. These tapes have high bonding strength and will repair small tears quite effectively. If it is an actual hole, I would tape both sides allowing the tape to stick to itself through the hole. The tape or patch usually has instructions attached.
4)The "ring dings" are definitely not a sailor's best friend and could be scary. <snip> This year I will be using these little safety pins that pass through the hole as well as lock around the pin, similar to the safety pin on a toe hitch and to prevent clothing from catching and pulling it out;<snip> For the forestay I plan to use the cotter pin with the little spring loaded ball.
