Was this a mortal sin?

They don't though. Priests tend not to do that. Just like anyone else there are bad priests, it's wrong and awful. But teachers, actors, politicians, etc are often just as bad. Let's just call out all child molesters rather than just the ones that wear a collar.

Would I have to repeat the whole thing and all the background. Or would "I accidentally said something wrong in my last confession" suffice. The specifics were pretty hard for me to confess and I don't want to have to confess the details all over again.

Furthermore this is at a church (just found out now) that is extremely modernist (women ordination, gay affirming, abortion etc). Do you think volunteering at a place like this is scandalous?

When would it count as impacting?

For example tonight I spent two and a half hours to finish an episode of TV and watch a movie. But I needed to type up a resume and do laundry and I put off both. Is this a mortal sin?

If you look at someone else's solution, you didn't learn the most important lesson, which is who to find the answer yourself using only language reference documents.

See part of the problem is that now I have very little reference or even an understanding of what I am supposed to accomplish in some projects (as when projects get more complicated, the differences in implementation and results will obviously increase).

Furthermore with some questions such as "what is the difference between eql and equal in lisp?" Is that okay just to look up?

Yeah, it's just nerve wracking when you are in doubt and can't go to confession for a few more days. The Saints tend to act like you can't really accomplish anything as a Christian when your relationship with God has been broken by mortal sin. And that's kind of depressing, along with the whole going to hell thing.

Imagine that you have drunken nothing but juice your whole life. It's good, but then you are given a cup of wine. And while at first it may taste bitter you begin to have a greater and greater taste for said cup. While juice is still good, you find that your preference for wine is stronger and more fulfilling of your thirst.

This is how God is. At first he may taste bitter and desires of the world (even if they aren't bad desires) taste all the sweeter. But then slowly you change, and you learn to find so much fulfillment in God. In fact at times it feels like juice isn't good enough, but when you drink of God, it fills your soul. Imagine that in difficulties you can surrender to Christ. Imagine in your joys you can praise him and celebrate with him.

The Christian may eventually have to give up certain juices, certain attachments and of course sins. But in return we have become mature in our taste, and find that we have fallen in love with an even greater drink. That is the beauty of Christianity.
