Why disable defender?
Should you reinstall

? Yes. It sounds like you have a really old version because NPRshader stopped being supported by western community long ago.
CMI will likely not install because you need a newer game version. Update it

.
It's important that you don't use the "Basic" preset while setting up CMI. Use "Similar to Noctsoul AIO" or "My recommendation'. Don't disable XUnityAutotranslator. Even if the game is english the mods for it are not. You must disable i18nEx on english game.
Genshin characters from where? If it's from R4.10 they should all work. Not the best accuracy and quality but they work fine. If you buy them from zoobot (now zohobot) and have any issues you should ask him for support on discord. His mods are direct ports with great accuracy but may or may not behave well in game.
Whatever you downloaded, if it's from any of my links then it should have detailed instructions for what to do with it.
In general mod files go inside Mod folder and preset files go in Preset folder.
