My BitTorrent download has been stuck at 99.8% for five hours. The bar is green so I have no idea what's going on.
If I pause it and "Force Start" it again there is still no progress.
What's the difference between "Start" and "Force Start"?
What's the difference between "Pause" and "Stop"?

Force start will force a download even if you have more downloads going then you enabled at once. For example, if you set a max download limit of 3 torrents, and have 5 all set to "Start", only 3 will run at once. However, if you force-start one of them, then 4 will run.
Pause doesn't kill your connections, it just (severely) limits your transfer speed. It keeps the connection open between peers/seeders (and the tracker), so you can (almost) instantly resume downloading.
Stop closes your connection between you, any peers/seeders, and the tracker.
