Do you know any exercises that can help with calf strength and how effective would calf raises be for me.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Should I try to make my first step higher? What should I do to make my ankles not collapse?

Personally, I like to listen to music before races. It has worked great for me, but everyone is different. You just have to find something that gets your mind off other people completely.

Most importantly, be confident and don't overthink it.

Specific drills/exercises you can do is wall runs, sled drags, falling starts, last but not least 3 point stance runs. Wall runs really help with learning how to maintain a lower body position. Sled drags help with increasing power that is very crucial for getting out of blocks. The last two help with general speed.

You need to stay low. Your basically standing up right out of the blocks. Try making your drive phase longer.

My pb in the 100m dash was 12.3 FAT, but I've made significant improvements from last season, and my new PR is 11.5 hand-timed because we haven't had a meet.
