Since you already have a bike that fits you and your budget is tight, just make do with what you have....
Yes! Switching the tires to slicks would work much better on paved roads than your knobbies.

im not opposed to fixing/creating my own bike (it actually sounds fun) but I have absolutely no idea where to begin or anything.
Use the $120 for your brand new slicks. That wouldn't be so crazy!

You don't need anybody's opinion concerning a bike that you already own and have ridden.
Your mountain bike will do just fine!
