How to stop all these empty ~/tmp/plasma* files?

They aren't files, they are sockets. You should be able to safely
delete them if you delete them while you aren't logged via a CTRL+ALT+F1
console.
The big question is, what is creating them in the first place, and not
cleaning up after itself. I don't have a single socket in my ~/tmp/
folder right now, and I've got a pretty good uptime going with a bunch
of programs launched.
I have a feeling that you might have something else going on with your
system, and all the other problems you are having are just symptoms of a
completely different problem.
