Small leak i cannot find?

I don't think I'm anywhere near confident enough to replace the jets! Actually I know I'm not. I'm actually considering replacing the whole pool or just getting rid of it altogether simply because I have no idea how to cut and seal this new liner..

You just measure & make the cut with a razor knife. I understand it can be scary. There’s lots of threads here on the upgrade.
Since it looks like your jet is basically made into the pool I would probably just patch & abandon that allowing the new liner to cover it & cut a new jet in a different area of the wall. The intex jets come apart & have gaskets that seal out the water, the same as regular above ground ones, pick your poison. There are various adapters to make either kind work with your pump/hoses.
There are reviews & videos on the amazon link that show how people cut the return & skimmer in on an intex pool.
You wait to do any cutting until the pool is pretty full & right below the jet/skimmer.
Maybe you’ll get lucky & find another pool on discount over the winter. That’s how I ended up with all mine.
