They all do that. When mine started bumping her head, I got a booster seat with a narrow base for the front and turn off the airbag.

According to the repair manual, 17536 could be the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, an oxygen sensor, or a fuel injector. I had this code once and ended up replacing the pre-cat O2 sensor.

If you type your VIN in on carfax.com, does it tell you 2000 or 2001? As far as I know, only model year 2000 TTs have the ATC engine.

It's your tires, not the car. All-seasons simply don't have the grip for snow and ice.

Besides, you said yourself this was the first time you've been in ice and snow. At speed, you'll wiggle a...

You happened to buy the car at the mileage that requires a timing belt changing. As for the clutch, perhaps the previous owner abused it. Hard to say.
