RE:

Ah yes, the cable card. Who is your cable provider? Cable companies don't like cable cards. They cut off potential profits from the provider(VOD, Box rentals) and they are quirky.

1) probably not, since I suspect the cable is hooked up to an output and an input. I don't know if there are any dual input/outputs.
2)I don't know how the ambisound works, so I cannot comment.
3) the TV is progressive, hence the "p" in 720p. I would stick with the HDMI, but you can try it both ways.
4) Cable cards can be problematic. They need to be set up so they can communicate with the provider-they need an address. The comcast guy couldn't get it to work with my TV-it is very TV dependent. The advantages are a better picture, and one less box to clutter up you room. The disadvantages are its quirky, and its only one-way, so you cannot do video on demand.
5) It could be the disc, or the player, or both. You could try cleaning the disc.

Others can probably give you more advice.
