Looking forward to any help or a guide to the right direction!

For issue number 1, you have the player on a different layer than the rest of the sprites. Try placing them into the same layer (layer 0 for example).

For issue number 2, you can always use the 8-direction movement and in its properties, there is a choice to make it only 4 directions.

On the properties dialog under 8 direction behavior, you can set it to 4 directions.

Try making the player solid too.

Very awesome you guys , thanks so much!

Another question while you guys around
