If it's a genuine Sony charger (and not a clone/fake) then it's likely going to give the stated current.

Re: Stuck in HDMI safe mode
How do you connect to your TV?
Is the TV PAL or NTSC if you're using an RCA cable?
On the NOOBS menu there's a option to not use HDMI and to use PAL or NTSC instead. (It rewrites the /boot/config.txt.)

Try changing the WiFi channel. (If BT HH4 isn't a protected walled garden.)

If you create a new partition (FAT or ext4) you could mount that as read/write while keeping the /boot and root partitions as read only. I'd mount it as /var.
