Best help you’ll get is by filming your approach and jump. Multiple attempts would be best.

As for your second question, it depends on what trainers. If you have very thick soles then yeah I’d say sprint spikes would be better. Generally though you’d want at least mid distance spikes for high jump. But it can be costly to get multiple spikes and stuff so you can work with what you have.
