This may not help 'cause you found many other problems. How ever for your information. You need not remove the tank to replace the float mechanism. First shut off the inlet water by the valve next to the wall( where the pipe comes out of the wall/floor). Remove the top and flush the toilet. This will remove about 80-90% of the water in the tank. Now syphon or wipr out the remaining water. Remove the inlet pipe from the toilet (careful here to not break sometthing). Now remove the nut holding the mechanism to the toilet and replace with a new unit. Put the whole thing together by reversing the above. Turn on the water to check for leaks and there you are. Should take less than 15 minutes.
Remember to be a plumber you just have to know S*** flows downhill and payday is friday.
