I think you have two problems going on there.

That violent kicking at speed is the clutch dog. It is coming out of gear, rotating half a revolution and slamming back in gear. It feels like you ran over something when it does that, and does it over and over again. The worse the wear, the more often it does it. Eventually, it will beat itself to death if you don’t fix it.

The slow speed (or in neutral) "miss" more than likely is what we call a "lean sneeze". Giving the slow speed knob on the carburetor a tweak to the left will often times cure that.
