Live and learn. Don't make the same mistakes (too many times) again. We all have bad days. The key is that you're reflecting on what went wrong, when, and how it could be better next time.
For your situations, I would have corrected the clock. Obviously some time elapsed and you know it was less than 10 seconds.
For the 5th foul, I'd blow a double whistle for effect, take the ball from the shooter, and get the fouled out player out of the game.
Inadvertent whistles happen. Your partner's came at a very inopportune time.
Keep in mind that this was a lower-level game. The players are learning and developing as well as coaches and officials. With more experience you'll put this behind you and remember fondly of the very bad game you don't want to have again.
