you can go into the wacom control panel and make the eraser act like a pen

probably

You can get replacement nibs

you should have got some with it.

there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the nib.

the buttons on the side don't seem to be working either

Three ideas for fixing the pen

1) Pull the nib out with your teeth then reseat it (edit: I just read your other post and realize this probably won't work)
2) Completely uninstall then reinstall the drivers, with a complete reboot inbetween
3) Call Wacom support. My experience with them has been 1 for 2. The first time I called, the guy was great and helped me find some older drivers on my system that were causing me problems. The second time I called, with a hardware issue, the guy was really offhand and unhelpful.
