So, another update.
I added both containers of Great Value Bleach into the pool via the skimmer, very very slowly. Then I took socks my in-laws bought me for xmas that I never even thought about wearing (thanks guys!) and poured all four pounds of CYA into the sock, and massaged it holding in the water circling above the skimmer. About ~20 minutes later it was all dissolved and gone. I will test in the morning as per the SLAM method, and I might test some of the chemicals now out of interest and see what they say. About the copper, since emptying the pool is difficult in my situation, I believe I'll buy metal sequestrant for the remaining of this year. Then when it gets too cold outside, I'll see about getting the copper out of there more permanently. Sound good everyone?
