The filter and pump won't affect your fuel mileage. They can't make you run rich, or 'waste' fuel.
O2 sensor, or an ignition problem. (ICM, coils, wires, plugs). You may also have very poor compression.

The oxygen sensor is cheap and easier to replace than the cat. You really need a lift and some welding tools to do exhaust work.
I would start with the oxygen sensor first.

Absolutely. I was just saying a Cat could make the same smell. But it can't affect your mileage unless it'* clogged. You would feel a lack of performance if that were the case.
