how did you get a lion installer? interesting. regardless you'll need to update to High Sierra, which is the latest release your Mac supports. to do that you can just go to apple's site and download a high Sierra installer, or you can boot to internet recovery, format the machine and clean...

can you look at system report and check the wifi card is still there if you plug it in?

did you try a power cycle? aka remove battery and unplug charger, hold the power button down for 10 seconds, put battery in and plug it in again and then try to boot.

Sony for headphones. other audio stuff I'm not picky, my hifi/av setup is mostly 70's to 90's gear from all manners of different brands. for computers and phones I stick to Apple. I tried Windows and Android recently and I still hate both for various reasons, so it's Apple for those things.

Chrome on Mac is fine. i agree about pages though.

wait, i'm confused. i doubt you can do that, but you can buy a new top case to get a new keyboard and disassemble the Mac, and reinstall it around the new top case. that's a big process though, so be sure to have a decent guide and a good screwdriver before attempting that.

that's a fine price. they gost twice that price in working condition in my country.

VGA does that sometimes. you can go into display adaptor settings and enable all modes, that'll allow you to set any resolution you'd like.

the Mac's that can use the latest OS are from 2012 or newer. so 8 years already :)

it looks like your Windows partition is still there, as well as the system partition... did you double check the Boot Menu in the BIOS?

it could be ram related. monitor ram usage with Activity Monitor. see how high it goes when you multitask.

both didn't work? how fast is your internet?

it's possible Apple's servers are kinda bogged down where you live. are you using WiFi or Ethernet to install? i've had issues with Internet Recovery on WiFi, but on ethernet it's ok.

i'm not sure you can run programs off of them, i've never had to do so. you can use them as storage of course, but i've never tried running an app off of one... i'd look that up to confirm it.
