Can it not be enough for Republicans that he killed two people and walked away scot-free? Does he also have to get rich in the process?

You can try and sue anyone for anything, but of your three issues there if he doesn't want to be associated with white supremacists then he should stop associating with white supremacists (as in allowing them to collect money for him, being photographed with them, or appearing on their news programmes), and if he doesn't want to be described as a vigilante then he shouldn't have taken a gun to a riot as a civilian and shot three people (after being caught on tape saying he'd shoot looters).
Nor is it particularly easy to see how something false like confusing him taking a gun across state lines to a riot to it being in a safe and then he took it to the riot is something that could generate anything more substantial than a clarification in the responsible outlet. Pretty much the most potentially libellous thing there was the one about his mum driving him to the protest, and even then it would be his mum who'd have the case there.

Nick Sandmann didn't receive anything like millions from the settlements - before or after his lawyers got paid.
The media entities didn't go to court because going to court would cost them more in time and money, even though they'd assuredly win, than simply paying out small sum "nuisance payments" to end the charade.
Most legal folk I've seen and know are confident the settlements were in the low 6 figures - with 40%, most likely, going to Sandmann's lawyers.

I read an article that broke it down similarly. Of course “Nick Sandmann sues media for a billion dollars” or some ludicrous sum like that makes the headlines, but the settlement is always MUCH, MUCH lower.

An other trial going on in America at the moment the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.
I haven’t watched this case as much as the Rittenhouse one. From what I have seen it was basically a modern day lynching and anything but a guilty1st degree verdict for all would be a travesty.

Horrific case. As you say it was a modern day lynching
Judge just made an important ruling in that case although final decision is on Monday
The judge ruled Friday afternoon that under Georgia’s old citizen’s arrest law, the one applied in this case, the arrest would have to occur right after any felony crime was committed, not days or months later.
The defense argued that the ruling guts their case.
Everything about this case is grotesque
