Second, my main problem when using both eyes open is that everything is sortof blurry. The other problem is that I can't line up the rear sights with the front sight because...well...there's like 4 different sights with both my eyes open, that or everything is blurry and I can't line it up. Are there ways to get around it? Does it sound like I'm doing it wrong?

The whole key is to just focus on the front sight, correct?
Sounds like you are developing double vision when trying to close focus. You may want to visit the eye doctor. Some people, like me, have eyes that do not work together properly. My current eye glass prescription has a prism to help out keeping the eyes aligned. I mostly just ignore my right eye, so it doesn't bother me while shooting.

Edit to add. Read the link from Lee Lapin and it appears the double vision thing is pretty normal. I have tried both the slanting the gun a little in the right hand to get the left eye more aligned, shooting left handed, and just switching dominance to the right eye. i shoot about the same using the first two the third gives me a headache after a while.
