I would say your first impression was correct, even though the additional image you submitted is impossible to view clearly. Single coil pickups are particularly vulnerable to 60 Hz EMI (50 Hz in some parts of the world) from AC power lines, and depending on the values and lengths of connecting wires can be surprisingly good antennas for broadcast radio stations or CB transmissions 8^0. This is managed with proper shielding around the electronics cavity in the guitar body, and sometimes, particularly in North America, by connecting the the ground side of the audio circuit to the bridge, which then connects the ground to the strings and then the human body through the hands, allowing it to act as an impedance sink. Best practice has all wires carrying audio signal surrounded by a mesh shield connected to a common point audio ground.
You have stripped the threads on the string retainer part of the bridge adjusters. You will have to have it rethreaded with helicoils or buy a replacement which is $39
Watch videos on YouTube about guitaar setup. You won't find specific ones, but find one for the same type hollow or solid body and view several. The videos tell what we could not put in words here.
Clamp it to the headstock of your guitar just like in the picture. Press the power button. Pluck one string on your guitar, the screen will light up with the corresponding note (standard tuning from largest string to smallest string is E A D G B E). The arrows will indicate whether the string is sharp or flat (too high or too low). More left arrows indicate that the string is too low, too many arrows on the left indicate that it is too high. Turn the tuning peg, slowly, on the corresponding string until you've got 6 solid arrows.

Using the Flared side down will fit the bottom strings better since a neck has a natural curve in it so hitting every note fluidly is very easy without getting better sounds out of the strings most of straight slides hit.
Good Luck,

Try adjusting the pickup height lower and playing your guitar. If your action is set right and it plays fine then adjust the pickups for the sound you want. You may have inadvertently changed string guages. Here is a link that will help you:http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/aph.htm Also:http://www.igdb.co.uk/pages/guitar_setup/pickup_height_adjustment.htm
If you see a hole on the thumbscrew post, you have to line it up with the hole in the solid post by screwing it in or out until it does. Then you put the string through. Hope this helps.
If you do a lot of bends or use a whammy bar this will happen a lot. The best way to keep a guitar in tune is to buy a locking system to put on it. I use a floyd locking system for my own guitar.
This is really a personal choice as long as the strings are made for an electric guitar there are hundreds of different kinds, it mostly has to do with the thickness of the strings and how the thinner the string the easier it is to manulipulate, you should go to a good music store and tell them what type of music you play and they will give you some choices.
