What to Expect with Stolen Email

I figured this would be the best place to ask what to expect when someone takes your leaked email address. I posted on here a while ago that my email got leaked and asked for tips to protect myself. I managed to eff up one of their Google ads a week or so back because everything is tied to my Google email and it was easy to access and kick them out. No other information has been stolen, my bank hasn't been touched, nor has my other accounts been compromised. Just today I got an email from Amazon that a purchase was made with my email, but they didn't use my bank or any other concerning accounts. I, of course, effed that one up too after making sure it was legit. At this point I'm trying to figure out what's next, what should I expect? I have the option of closing my email for good but I'd hate to do that and I'm sure whoever has my leaked email is hating me right now, which can be an issue for the future.

P.s. all passwords have been changed and I have a password manager

Can an IP adress be linked to your account ?

Hello ! Let's say my ip adress got leaked. Can a third party (not government nor ISP) find all my accounts linked to this IP ? By hacking databases and such ?

Thanks

Are cheapo U2F/FIDO keys actually secure?

I see that adafruit is selling U2F keys *really* cheap -- $10 each, and there's basically nothing else on the market until $30. I bought one and it seems to work fine. But I don't know enough about the protocols to know how safe that is. Are cheap U2F keys likely to be insecure or backdoored? Or is the whole process strong enough that I can trust them?

samsung 5s completely dead

is it possible to kill a phone and not have any physical proof of tampering? (unless taken to a professional)

I have an old phone with a lot of stored passwords and photos and I think someone I live with went into my room while I was away and did something to it but I have no proof of this (however things have gone missing in my room conveniently whenever I leave the house or go into the shower so I'm not just being paranoid)

the battery works fine and windows also makes that noise when i connect it to my computer but it doesn't show up nor does the screen turn on or vibrate when i insert the charger I've never dropped it but just randomly stopped working one day,

is there any software that can help with issue?
