What is the entire context? If this is an expletive in a manga or something it's probably a colloquial version of てまえ which is could be translated to something like "you bastard." The っ at the end indicates a glottal stop which adds emphasis and a confrontational tone. I would pronounce it the same way you pronounce similar words using this small っ. In romaji it would be something like TTEME!

In this exampleって is short for ということ（は）.
めっ is part of めっちゃ, which is a colloquial way to say "very".

めっちゃ is slang and めっちゃめっちゃ is a less-common variant. I think more common in Kansai.
I believe it's true it can mean messed up but it's contextual.
Probably not something you should say just because you're not a Japanese school kid and it would sound weird.
Same as if you used high school kids slang in your own country. My kid has been saying "what the smegma!" a lot recently.
I don't use it.

Kuroi Taiyo,
I think meccha meccha just means very very. Meccha takai means very expensive (although it might mean something like "crazy expensive" or "super expensive ", but I am not sure.)
Elsewhere on the forum I have posted a YouTube video by Haru-san. She uses the word meccha often in her videos, and I do not think she always uses it in a negative way.

Hey there everybody. I was wondering if you could put any kanji together that you want and make a word? HAHA, I know it sounds dumb, but I was wondering about this today as I see signs that I think are read a certain way because of vocabulary, but SURPRISE, it's spelled and said completely differently... aiyaaaaaaaaa. What do you guys think? Are they just using typical words, or can you make any combination you want and make a word? Thanks guys! <3

Sure you can make up nonsense words. Or make up your own vocabulary for a book or game or something. The most common way this happens in real life is when people do this for names. As I understand it, you can put together kanji however you like and even assign non-standard pronunciations to them.
But when you encounter this on signs or what not it's usually due to historical reasons not because somebody is going out of their way to mess with peoples minds.

Yes, multiple verbs will be conjugated in a sentence. The way you conjugate the verbs will depend on what you want to say. And Japanese is reasonably flexible when it comes to word order, so there are often many ways to say the same thing - so the conjugation of the verbs is slightly dependent on which word order you choose.

The tense system in Japanese is different from the one in English. Here's an example. Hope it helps.
