You got problems, all right. I never bothered with many spells in this game. My wizards always had mana shield, Fireball 5, Lightning 5 and Holy Bolt 5. Every point went into the magic stat to build up the mana pool.
As to getting books: in case you hadn't noticed, Adria's inventory changes every time you leave the dungeon. So I'd open a portal, save the game and go through. If she had nothing I wanted, I'd restore and try again. Boring, but eventually she had the books I was looking for.
Also, I'm surprised you have so little cash. By this time in Diablo, all my characters (regardless of class) usually had piles of gold all over the town square.
As for Hell itself, I used mainly Fireball and Lightning Bolt. Some monsters resist one type of spell, so I used the other. The Big D himself is very susceptible to Holy Bolt, so that's the one to use against him.
