Not letting me choose focus points and one other thing

I'm having a couple of issues with my camera that I was hoping someone could help me troubleshoot, because I can't find the exact fix on the help suggestions...
1) When in Av mode, it's suppose to choose the correct ISO for the situation, mine isn't. It is going to auto or 100 every time no matter what. Even when lighting is perfect in my studio or outdoors, it's acting as though the ISO is off but it's suppose to be adjusting that. It use to work perfectly and all of a sudden it started doing this. I did correct the Aperture (I accidentally changed this I think when I was trying to figure out the focus point issue and didn't realize it.) and it's still not working.  I've got all the lights on in my studio, even the ugly ones just to light this place up while trying to figure out the issue and it's still choosing ISO 3200 and acting as if it's too dark in here. But it is plenty lit up.
2) When in M and Av modes, when I go to use my turn dial to manually choose my focus points, it will only toggle through the points on the center horizontal line. It use to let me choose any of the points on the grid and now it will only go on that one horizontal line. Why is it doing that?
I've gone through all the settings in my camera, googled and watched youtube videos, but nothing seems to correct the focus point issue.

Make sure the [LOCK] switch is not in the locked position.  Otherwise, I suggest you contact Canon Support.
