Entire Site Acting As Outbound Link Post Plugin/Theme Updates to Current

The switching the grid to buttons helped. I then turned on caching via WP Rocket and now the whole surface being a link issue has resolved.

I had to delete the contact page and recreate it to get the header background to show.

There's still something odd going on. I'm getting an empty white space below the footer on certain pages.

I am not seeing the white space below the footer. Can you try clearing the browser caches?
If the issue persists temporarily disable WP Rocket to see if its creating havoc.

Let me know.
