The lever down by the driver's feet won't click open the hood door - it seems as though it is jammed. I don't want to pull it too hard because the handle may break. Has anyone else had this problem?

some times if you hit the hood with your hand while someone is pulling on the latch it will pop open

I have had the same problem but not with a Fiat. Take it your local garage and they will open it for you, this is what i had to do. It more than likely needs a new cable. Not that expensive to replace.

Oh dear, I have no sympathy in bying a Fiat Punto,
Quite frankly, you gets what you buys.
They are cr^p.
I am not suprised that the twiddly thing to open the bonnet is knackered, probably because the cable is stretched.
Sell the item, and be well rid of it !
Cheers,
Bob
