My toilet doesn't seem to want to flush

What type of flush is it? An old syphon? Does it look like pic. 1?

If so, and you have to depress the handle multiple times for it to flush the plastic diaphragm in the bottom is ripped and you'll need a new one.

Or is the handle just really stiff but flushes on first go? You could slacken off the plastic nut on the inside of the cistern.

As for the slow water fill it's could be low water pressure, a stopcock/ quarter turn valve not fully open.

Nope not that pic - more like this one below, only the flush is a handle and not a button.;

Strange that the slow fill thing happened at the same time as the toilet handle becomming stiff as nails.

Hmm. A bit odd as they are pneumatic, is there a split or a hole in the pipe from the lever to the flush?

What type of fill valve have you got?
