Suggest that you try out different programs.

I would rename the old parent theme directory then upload the new one. Leave the old one accessible just in case. Otherwise if you have no choice then delete the old one completely because some upload programs occasionally glitch when overwriting files, not sure why, they just do.

I build mine inside WordPress using code in custom page templates and plugins, this way I get to use all of the WordPress supporting framework, and at the same time develop the code without interference from WordPress. In my cases I have put my data into new tables within the same database used by WordPress, the rest of WordPress knows nothing about them, you could access a different database from you code but this is more programming than I needed to do.

If you limit your members to logins that hold Author capabilities, then their only means of walking away with the content they created in their member site is to copy/paste each page/posts.
You could impose a license condition upon the members that grants you exclusive and perpetual web-wide use of their contributions. May not be enforcible, may be too expensive to enforce.

You should be accessing these files using FTP, this makes it easy to rename directories and so on. The “site can’t be reached” suggests that an error in the plugin is stopping the site from responding.
I do my plugin development in localhost.

It is only because I believe in your cause that I am taking the time to reply to you.

Your problem is that The markup of the Compliance section uses <p> blocks which are specified in “style.css line 236”, to format into 3 columns. Whereas the About section uses <h3> and h5 and ol elements among others. So your solution is to get that section up in the editor in HTML mode and fix the markup.

It is quite clear that the designer of the css intended paragraphs to work just like you see it, the code is:

.section > .container > p {
	-moz-column-count: 3;
	-moz-column-gap: 30px;
	-webkit-column-count: 3;
	-webkit-column-gap: 30px;
	margin-bottom: 25px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

This styling has to be somewhere in CSS or maybe it is all done in javascript.
Suggest that you ask in woocommerce support.

There is no problem caused by directory size.
The only files that accumulate in WordPress are media such as images, they are stored in date structured directories such as “2018/03/22/”, otherwise everything is stored in a few database tables. The architecture is capable of scaling, so don’t worry about that.
Of course someone could create a plugin that did accumulate files in a single directory, but that would be an incompetent choice.
