We all start out that way, commander! What are you flying? If you've lost 20mil, it sounds like you're not in an ideal ship.
It's all about figuring out which ships move well, getting some better thrusters and ideally engineering them.
Cobra Mk III is excellent while you get the basics down!

BGS economic chains - have you found a good reference for that at all? I've been trying to find out some more detailed information about how it all works to help me plan my system!

I think LYR and Antal are quite science-orientated and eventually give bonus payouts for exploration data.
Grom can give a 15% exploration bonus.
I'm not sure about frontline, but you can certainly earn good merits on foot for stealing goods or uploading malware (stealthily or otherwise!)

Not a problem - there are a lot of ways to contribute to PP which don't involve combat at all. In fact, almost every game mechanic can be used to contribute in some way! What sort of things do you enjoy doing?

Have you gotten into powerplay at all? If not I recommend finding a discord server for your faction! If not I recommend pledging to Yuri Grom and joining us ;) discord.gg/JttRNMue
