FIrst off, welcome to FTR. Hope you find what you need here and continue to develop as a player.
Secondly, you seem to already be on the right track as far as playing AND studying, then reviewing sessions to see if you made +ev moves or not, as that is all we are concerned with.
The first things you will need to worry about is Bankroll Management. Please do not attempt to play 5nl, 10nl right now with your BR. Play 2nl until at least $80ish (I would recommend $100) then bump up to 5nl. This follows the 20 buyin rule. After beating 5nl you can jump to 10nl at around $200ish or so. But no matter what remember to drop down when you hit a snag and drop a few buyins (which at times it will happen).
As far as FR stats, those aren't bad at all. The only thing is you are probably limping too many hands. It's okay to limp in late position with hands that play well in multiway pots behind other limpers, but you don't want to be limping too much in other positions. And as far as AJo goes, I generally begin opening it in MP, and I'll toss it to a reraise preflop as there is a good chance your playing a dominated hand in that case. Postflop, Don't get too eager to stack off with it wihtout hitting the flop hard or being pretty certain you have the best hand.
As far as the 19 hand starting guide. I'm pretty sure it isn't well liked around here. Reason being is it doesn't do to much to develop you as a situationally aware poker player. I would advise reading Renton's 169 hand guide here:

And I agree that it's your smallish sample size that is yeilding the "confusing" results. While to be completely honest the play sucks at both 2nl and 5nl equally, so playing the same game will probably yeild the same results over the long run.
As far as the only raising 4xbb, and not adding in a bb per limper, I don't agree with this. At 2nl and your tight strategy you should be miles ahead of a huge majority of the limpers range when you decide to raise. Therefore, you should be getting as much money in the pot as possible while ahead. Also you are probably giving correct implied odds with alot of hands. Charge them to see the flop with thier small pocket pairs, suited connectors, and trash. If you have 2 limpers and raise 4xbb, there is a good chance you won't get the hand Heads-Up and in the majority of cases, that is what we want, a headups pot.
