Congrats on the car. Sounds like you have a few issues to sort through. There are threads on this forum about engine run on (sometimes called "dieseling". Some have managed to stop the run on but most of us just put a bit of a load on the engine by letting the clutch out a bit when turning the engine off. So, one foot on the brake and just let the clutch out a bit when you turn it off. Run on isn't particularly good for the engine, so recommend you use this technique to prevent it.

Enjoy the car!
