For the door related issues, could be broken wires between the door and shell, pull back the rubber bellows and see if you can see anything.

For everything I would check connections and wiring just about everywhere and clean if necessary. A volt meter would be useful for the job.

Have you tried swapping the window switches over?

Also check for power at the motor for the window. They re prone to seizing or the mech itself getting jammed at the top

I have fixed both my window switches. The problem was with the terminals switch end. Took the switch apart, took a small file (actually used a nail file) to the contacts. Get them shiny again then lube. Should work good as new

They should come out with some gentle persuasion. If not, unscrew the centre console and then you'll be able to get to the back of it.
