These sound like they may be issues with your computer and/or your
connection. It might be that you need to reinstall Starcraft, or even
reinstall Windows. Beyond that, couldn't tell you.

The way I always do it is click to the upper left of them, then click
drag down across them to enclose them all in the rectangle. Then
right-click a mineral patch and you're done.

You do know you can click the unload button and then click the exact
place you want it to unload, right? Just keep clicking around until
you find a spot it's willing to unload.

The problem with attacking specific objects is that your guys will
attack that object and ONLY that object--which means something else
can come up behind them and kill them and they won't even try to
defend themselves.

Ideally you should click attack and then click the ground right in
front of what you want them to attack. That way they'll come right up
to that location, then start shooting at whatever is nearest.

And there's no rule of thumb about what's best to attack; it depends
on the situation. If you can get a strike in on his gatherers early
on, it will really cripple him--but will only be mildly annoying if
he's already time to build up a few thousand resources.
