I doubt very much you wore out a rim. Never seen that happen. But than I am not a pro racer.
No idea what is selling in Russia. Here in USA with parts and labor being expensive its usually cost effective and easier to just buy a new wheel. Unless yours is very special.
Sounds more like an adjustment issue. The front does more braking anyway. Something like 70/30.
Your brake lever at the handlebars should not hit the grips if it does you need to tighten cable.
Look at the post below , the notches/grooves in the pads are the wear indicators, I usually change pads when they wear about 1/2 way or so. If you still see lots of groves its OK.
