How do I “sell” my IP to multiple purchasers while still retaining rights to develop non-competing products with same IP.

Sounds like you might be looking at a licensing scheme, not a sale the way you describe this, but you really do need to get a good attorney to put together your options. How your ip is protected, patent or trademark or copyright will also be an issue. If your ip is worth defending, you need to understand that what you describe is complicated and a good attorney with experience in ip law and licensing will look at this as major project, for which you need to expect to pay a significant amount....

Can my last employer pursue me legally if I decided to write a bad detailed review about "them" on the internet?

Your former employer could sue you for a bad review, but if you can demonstrate that your review is true and factual, you would be likely to prevail. The issue however, is often defense costs. If you think someone is likely to sue, it can cost money you do not have to defend even if you can ultimately prevail, but on the other hand a company often knows that fighting a bad review can be a losing and costly proposition as well.

Can I sue a private university for negligence that resulted in theft of property?

You might have a claim if they were negligent in hiring or supervising the workers and allowing access, assuming the property was stolen in conjunction with the cleaning, however you would generally only be entitled to the actual value of the stolen items, not replacement cost and you would have to put on evidence of value. Unfortunately, 4 yr old or older goods are probably not going to be worth much, maybe a few thousand dollars at best. Also, your agreement you signed to live in the dorm...

Possible HIPPA violation - how to prove?

This answer should not be considered specific legal advice, nor does it establish an attorney client relationship. Generally, you can make a complaint to the hospital, or the state health care agency but HIPPA does not have a private right of action, so you normally have no grounds to take legal action
