SOURCE: I have a 99 528i, driver side door won't open from inside or out.
to be honest i would need the car in front of me to diagnose correctly but from the sound of it the mechanism inside the door is worn,the lever that springs open the jaws has worn to the extent that it will not push the two contacts inside the lock open to allow the door pawl to swivel around releasing the door.Only way is too remove the door trim if you can and operate the mechanism with a big screwdriver to open the door then renew the mechanism

there is a pin in the door handle might have broke off there are two 10 mm nuts that will release the handle but you have to take the door panels off and remove it any local junk yard should have it or can order it for you

Adjusting the handbrake is easy.Between the two front seats where the cup holders are behind there is a cubby hole.This has a bottom which can be easily prised out.You will see the handbrake adjusters which you just need to tighten.
