So,for the chain jumping off, adjusting the B screw in a little bit (wind it in clockwise) will probably snug the chain up again. It looks like it's in good shape other than just getting used (good for you on that! Bikes should be used!).

If you're not getting into your smaller gears (big cogs) unwind the cable adjuster counteclockwise until it goes in easily. You might have to adjust the cable 1/4 turn one way or another after you pull the stretch out of it.

No...I've never had any problem getting it into any gear. The reason I hardly ever use 7 is because it's too tall. 6th gear works better for where I bike.

If I try that, I'll mark it and turn it clockwise....I was thinking clockwise would loosen it.
