Need Major Help Here Completely Lost

No need for an HDMI adapter, get a 4 pole RCA cable and see if that fixes your video issues with your crt. I don’t know about any of the other issues though as I just use hdmi

Do I just plug that into the 3.5mm jack? would I need something else to split the audio being that I have the speakers plugged into the 3.5 jack currently? or am i going to have to go audio out from the television through the headphone jack?

A 4 pole RCA cable includes the audio. Search for 3.5mm to triple RCA.

Right but what Im saying is that I have an external set of speakers that are plugged into the 3.5 jack already so do I get RCA to 3.5 also? so I can plug the red and white into the 3.5 in the back of the speakers?

The cable you need has 3 outputs, 1 composite video, and 2 audio (left and right).

This pinout for the composite video/analog audio port is here.

Pi Cable

Look on ebay or the like, or look at this one over on adafruit.

Adafruit cable.

Good luck.

Later,
dabone

@dabone Thank you I bought the cord from Adafruit and it works so I am not using the cord from the pi to the crt television and I bought a Y audio splitter with both sides being female female rca to female 3.5mm.
