When you said about biting the neck I had a feeling. I have many cats and all were fixed as babies or for the ones I got as adults when I took them. When a female is in heat outside or boy cats fighting they STRONGLY react to that. I usually try to trap any I can to get them TNR just to keep peace among my bunch. I know there is one now as they are acting strange at times and fighting more.
Is the pee smell all over or more near the tail-as it is possible it is one of the others pee. Living with her heat cycles is a lot of stress for the 2 boys. See what is available as this time of the year some places are REALLY looking to prevent litters and some drop the cost down a lot. But expect she MAY get turned down for surgery if in bad shape. I would not say anything about her state and play it off as she is fine as you really need her done but see what they say. Though if she is sick sick that does not apply. I am basing that off a cat who seems not to sick. Obviously you see her and can tell. If she is that bad then that does not apply. I have run cats through the clinic in bad shape(just got them and I can not have intact boys in the house long term without serious risk to my others) I always say to them if they seem hesitant I am willing to sign something saying I was informed this cat had higher risk of issues due to health and they always give no issue after I say that.
Vomiting due to not chewing the food is not serious but may want to soak her food in water and offer her mini meals if you can so it is not sitting out long and still give her acess to the regular dry. Unspayed females tend to be on the skinny side from my experience as I think it takes a lot to go in and out of heat so often.
If you qualify for any public assistance make sure to mention that to shelters/groups as I know by me there are 2 places that that would drop it down to under 20 for females.
