It's a forced air system. I think its a three stage based on the three fan speeds?
I think the 1st problem I have is how to remove it from the wall lol. Can't even find this brand online...

Did you remove the two phillips screws on the bottom of the thermostat before trying to pry off the face from below?
There plenty of non-smart thermostat options that should have an automatic AC/HVAC option. I am not really aware of any smart thermostats that do not have that feature (even the lite version of Nest/Ecobee should have it) so you shouldn't have to dish out for a full version of Nest/Ecobee unless you need more features than that.

If the screws aren't stripped, you either want to get a proper full sized screw driver with grips, or carefully use a drill to torque it loose. If you must "break it" try and strategically break the plastic around the screws below so you can either reverse what you've done, or leave the thermostat there while you figure out your replacement?
