The config files for kerbals lists the crash tolerance as 50, which I'm guessing means 50 m/s.

Make sure all the wheels are turning the same way, you can reverse the motors on them. Seems like you already did this based on the edit.
Additionally, ensure the probe core on the craft is placed in a way that the control point is forward, as in the navball should be half blue and half orange.

KSP 1.12.2 revamped the Swivel engine and hid the old one. By going into the advanced sort menus, you can find the old engine. The link goes to a guide with pictures that shows where to find it.

Anomalies don't save across games. Some anomalies are even in different places in different saves.
The anomaly found messages only show up in career mode, where you get some milestone funds for discovering them.

Is the requested orbit retrograde? Check the exact inclination in the contract description.

For small surface features, like a Mun Rock, standing next to it adds an option to the right click menu for kerbals. For larger surface features, like an Olivine Formation on Minmus, you need a scanning arm. Scanning arms come in three sizes, with larger arms giving more science points.

You can raise your AP to be far above Kerbin, near or above Minmus height, then burn retrograde at AP. It won't take that much fuel to get your PE into Kerbin's atmosphere. From there, the atmosphere will do the rest.
