the performance cdi's are not as good as the factory ones and tend to burn up. no personal experience just what ive heard.
in the us market the cdi's were not restricted so with the aftermarket ones dont show any improvement.

Yeah, a performance CDI isn't gonna give you any thing except grief. Reinstall the stock one and it will probably fix it.

Even if the key is not there, every time the magnet passes the sensor, you should have a spark.
Try ohms checking the stator coils per the manual. While you are at it ohms check the ignition coil too.
