The blistering ceiling probably won't do any lasting harm, once you get it to stop being damp. I've had that problem twice, once from a leaky shower and once from a slate off the roof, and both times it did that, alarmingly, and then when it dried out was unsightly but did not collapse or anything of that nature.
As for the tank, I don't know about Minneapolis, but here a whole new toilet only costs $100, so a new tank from the kind of shop like Home Depot (only nicer, I hope) would probably not be very much and be fairly easily swapped in. It wouldn't need plumbing -- the plumbing is there already, it would just be engineering.
Maybe you know someone who could fix it?
(We make jokes about small ads we would write if we were looking for another person: "strong wrists", "detailed knowledge of medieval weaponry", "good with plumbing", "Linux sysadmin experience an advantage"...)
