This is an awful lot going on for your cat! As many of these things could be allergy related, or food related, or grooming related, or even immune-mediated related, I would highly recommend first scheduling a vet visit for an overall initial exam. Your vet can recommend a variety of things, such as changing to a more tolerated litter, trying out a food trial to check for food allergies or switching to a hairball remedy diet, checking for and treating parasites, and getting your cat on a prescription allergy medication to relieve initial symptoms until the cause is found.
