Your symptoms are mostly typical of the 9-5 manual trans (at least mine) - it is kind of clunky but you get used to it over time. I always go into neutral first when coming to a stop, then into first. It becomes a habit. I also give the gears a min to slow down before engaging reverse as it is has very weak synchros. Mine will grind if I rush it.
The main thing with these trannies is you can't snap shift like you can with a Japanese car - you have to be deliberate with it. Very annoying around town. I would be concerned about the clutch pedal being that high - that is one thing that does not seem right but should also not be causing the other shifting characteristics you are experiencing.
