At parking lot speeds in 1st, you should barely have to touch the gas. Just letting your foot off the clutch and rolling will get you around 5 mph.

1st gear when i let off the acceleration just feels like it wants to slow down bad but I guess thats normal? I do try second gearand 5-10 mph and the rattling from the transmission and sound as if the rpm is too low for the gear and its getting bogged down kills me
Yeah that's all normal. You really don't have to give it much gas at all. To me it sounds like you're giving it too much gas, then letting off, back on gas, etc. which is causing that feeling.
