The resonators have no polarity, just make sure the case isn’t shorted to anything (it’s either gnd or not connected, can’t remember).
If you’re afraid you over heated it, they’re cheap so you may want to order some extras.
The Chinese clone should work but Pay attention to the rx/tx lines; they may need swapped (it shouldn’t hurt anything if they’re swapped, it just won’t work).

Welcome!
So, on v6.1 boards, you should be fine with supplying 5V on UART1 and use it for firmware upload. Here's the catch - you tried to upload .ino file, which is the firmware version for older ( < 6.x) BlueSaab hardware. What you need is the .bin files posted here on forum under Firmware versions. Older hardware uses ATMEGA 328P micro-controllers. v6.x uses STM32. In order to upload firmware you should keep BOOT0 button pressed while applying power to the board via UART1 (plug in the connector). Then release BOOT0 button. This will push STM32 controller into DFU mode. Then you should be able to upload your firmware depending on what operating system you are using. As for clone for FTDI - that should work, I don't see any reason why it should not.
As for Y1 - I'd let "Dr." Seth chime in he's our master of hardware.
Hope this helps.
