My thought is, find a reputable motivation based trainer to help you with your dog. ccpdt.org is a good place to get started.
I can tell you that dogs are very sensitive to body language and dogs love playing keep away if there is any movement towards them. I can say that if your dog is constantly getting things she isn't supposed to and playing keep away, she should not be off leash. I can say that if she only does things when you have food visible in your hand, your training and relationship is based on bribery. And I am a reward based trainer who thinks training with food is crucial.
No disrespect meant, and I commend you for working so hard with your puppy! I just think every single thing you've posted on this forum falls into the category of 'normal active puppy and owner needing help with training basics.' Having a good trainer to help you, in real life, will do so much to help you not feel overwhelmed and get you on a good track!
