I really like your thinking and would like to subscribe to your future thoughts. Have you looked into the subject of psychoanalysis? In particular, Lacanian psychoanalysis discusses schizophrenia as a disorder in the mental structure of metaphor and language, which may be related to your musings (for example, see http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00664/full).
Two books I recommend: A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis by Bruce Fink (https://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Introduction-Lacanian-Psychoanalysis-Technique/dp/0674135369) and Lacan by Lionel Bailly (https://www.amazon.com/Lacan-Beginners-Guide-Lionel-Bailly/dp/1851686371).

It's really impossible to understand Zizek without understanding Lacan. So much of his books are derived from and critiquing Lacan. Zizek, himself, has written several introductory books on Lacan, but I think he misses the mark. The best place to start would be A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis, and despite it's pompous title it's relatively harmless. After that I would suggest The Sublime Object of Ideology, his first book, is also a good entry place to his ideas. At this point I think his ideas would be decipherable and all his books readable, so this is just a list of books in no specific order which I think are most relevant to his thought - The Parallax View, In Defense of Lost Causes, The Plague of Fantasies, and his long essays for Lacanian Ink.
No. Lacan was working in the same field and built upon the work of Freud. I think they're referring to Zizek being a philosopher/theorist rather than an analyst. There a nice talk between Zizek and psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz where they discuss this a bit. There's quite a significant difference, for example, between Zizek discussing popular culture and Bruce Fink talking about clinical technique.
