It keeps on telling me that I'm about to stall, then I dive to pick up speed, but even then I can't climb at all. Does overdoing WEP burn out the engine?

Also, since I've beaten every single mission in the Battle of Britain, I figured that this would unlock the single missions for Stanlingrad... but no. How do I unlock those single missions? Do I have to beat Hornet's nest (and the rest of the Russian campaign) to do it?
Yes, using WEP for a pro-longed period of time burns out the engine entirely. If your finding that your losing power and do not have enough altitude to climb at a high rate, climb at a lower rate until your about 5k feet high, at this point due to the thinner air the plane can maneuver and climb at a higher rate.

In order to play the single missions for Stalingrad you have to complete that chapter in the campaign. Also regarding firing missiles at bombers, aim for the fuselage of the aircraft, biggest target. Ideally you want to shoot the engines, take one out and they will either limp home or lose the wing in the process.
