You must play your part and dig out the documents and understand them, nobody can help you on this. With regards to payment of the comm you should write the cheque to the agency because your agreement is with the agency. Never pay to the agent directly.

the agent by your admission did the selling part so its fair you pay him the comm due, as to the buying part get other agents asap as you will need a roof under you soon. The 1st agent unlikely to have a claim to exclusivity on your buying part now since he did disappear for awhile.
