Answer
I will try to answer a few of your many questions and mostly give you some ideas about breaking into IT computer work.
A bike shop job is a good deal and depending on the shop and how good your relationship is they will work with your schedule. I helped a lot of students graduate from college when I had my bike shop (another career of mine before computers). Depending on your state laws you are on the borderline age-wise to work in a normal employment situation. Child labor laws will vary but often employers may not take you on quite yet. They may have also have company policies, insurance issues and other things that may govern how young an employee can be.
I took up Technical Writing after I got my IT degree in Computer Information Systems (CIS). I did a short contractor gig for Microsoft working in the Premier Support Services and after that did other documentation on an Aerospace program which is where I am now doing Systems Adminstration and Computing Security. I spent about 10 years writing a monthly column for one of the IT Magazines. That started out with one article in a technical area. They liked that one and soon I was writing them monthly.
One of the things you will come up against in IT is that even entry level jobs are going to look for a 4 year college degree. It is not really critical what aspect of IT it is in but they just expect it. You need to remember that with the worldwide recession there are a lot of good IT pros on the street looking for work and if you don't have a degree you are not going to get to an interview - they are. Your resume and application will stay at the bottom of the pile. The big three things to have are a 4 year degree, industry certs (Microsoft, Comptia or Cisco) and experience. If you have all three things you will be good to go - if you don't you will be competing with people who do
You mentioned you are good at hardware and software work. The computer repair business has limited long term potential for you. Where I work if your laptop or desktop computer acts up, and they anticipate the repair will take over 15 minutes, they just hand you a new computer and help you transfer your data. In a few minutes they are done. Working with hardware and installing software is probably going to be entry level low paying work in a retail computer store, an office supply store or big box retailer's computer department. Don't get me wrong - This work beats flipping hamburgers and is a great way to at least get some experience. Just don't plan on doing it for life.
One way a few people are making $$ is to advertise computer virus removal on Craigslist. Look at what people are charging ($35-$70 in my area) and come up with an ad of your own. Download the freebie McAfee Stinger from the McAfee web site, put it on a thumb drive and use that to clean up their computer. Run time will take 30 mins to a few hours depending on their disk usage. It will clean things up and you will be $35+ richer. Start with your parents friends computer and work from there. Most people will not want you to remove their computer from their home so you will have to work out transportation for you to get there and get back home.
Most of the job ads are a waste of time to look at. You are going to have the most hope at breaking in at small business place locally that needs some computer networking work done and and then you will get to work your way up from there.
Microsoft and others may have free seminars in your area. Be sure that you are present at all these and collect and pass out business cards. You will likely get your first job in IT because of who you know and not what you know. Go to one of the free business card web sites and get some cards printed up for yourself.
You mentioned that you like to write code and that world is what a Computer Science/Programming degree is really about. If you like it and are gifted at it, then pursue that path. Take a few programming courses to see how you fit. I did not go this route. I can write some scripting code in command shell and PowerShell and that is all I need for my work.
You are going to need to curb your temper and judgmental attitude about uneducated end users. In a business setting the wrong look or an ill-timed remark could lose you a really good job. No amount of ability and good reviews will save you from an influential end user who does not like your attitude. Just trying to save you some pain here. I've seen some really good guys burn their bridges badly.
Just remember that no matter how you decide to proceed, without the IT 4 year college degree you are hosed.
Best Wishes!
