Man, I would say that I luthier can take care of your guitar and fix it.
I don’t think it is a very bad issue to be honest.
I hope you get it fixed and enjoy your playing again haha.
Take care buddy! Good luck

It’s hard to tell without seeing it. Maybe a new nut if the placement is off center… or maybe the groove in the nut is too shallow.
When you do bends try bending up so it does fall off

Sounds like a pretty common problem. I had that issue with my epiphone les Paul and It happened quite often. I have a Schecter Omen 6 now, and it doesn’t happen as often but I think it can happen on any guitar depending in how much you bend the string towards the edge of the neck. So I wouldn’t really worry about it. Unless someone else tells you otherwise because I’m sure others have had more experience with this issue more than I have.
