Kali doesn't allow me to use apt-get or install anything.

I've mentioned it before and I'll reiterate: don't install Kali. It's meant for booting from a USB drive, not as a primary desktop OS. Secondly, if you're not familiar with basic tools like package managers or Git, you won't benefit from its advanced features. You can use Kali's tools on standard Ubuntu or Debian distributions instead. Regarding your concerns, since it's not designed for everyday use, it likely has outdated SSL certificates and possibly corrupted repository data. If you share the specific errors, we might be able to assist further.
Sure, it seems like the issue began after an unnoticed change in the repository details.
It varies by software whether it relies on CPU or GPU. For instance, Sqlmap depends on the CPU to test passwords against hashes, while Hashcat uses the GPU. Hashcat can process your entire list in a minute or less on my 7770. The specifics depend on what tools are involved.
