I use a simple stake if im not scrogging(the screen supports the plant here). Bamboo seems to work well for a stake. just get some twist ties and have at it.

Second on the tomatoe cage. Just fasten the cage to the top of the lid and then you can just lift the lid-plant-cage together.

you could put a couple nails into nearby walls and use string to help support it.

Yes you have a wood structure around the plant it looks like get some hooks screw them in and tie it up. I do it all the time, by the looks of your area you better flip that baby soon, or you will be cutting not supporting.
