Did you just fill up with gas before this started?
If you can't get a fuel filter , you could remove the old one and dump out what is inside and see what comes out, water, dirt ? Empty it in the opposite direction of the arrow , or the way fuel normally goes through it. Look for water or dirt.

With all those issues going on at once there should be a check engine light coming on soon. Get the codes if any presents & if you have a small scanner start by checking your long fuel trim & short fuel trim to get an idea of a vacuum leak.
