Not sure about the door. Only thing I can think if is the linkages are messed up, and you will need to remove the door panel to fix that.
The steering, Check your linkages, sounds like something is binding. Jack up the front and use jack stands. Then turn the wheels back and forth while you or someone else watch all the joints.

I think you will need some tools like these.
Got these at Sears, but I've seen them at Autozone
Yes, that will cause problems with steering. You will need to fix that or the car will not be safe.
