I was trying to adjust the space between the two pads and tried messing with the right lever and I unscrewed it to the point where it just popped out. I’ve retightened it but now there’s no resistance nor does it push the pads closer when the lever is moved.
Im fairly new to bikes so I’m lost on what I should do or if I should just replace the while caliper at this point. Also, three small beads fell out; not sure what they do.

It sounds like your best bet is a local bike shop. All you should need to do is make the cable taught and it’ll work. I dunno what beads you’re describing either, though.
I hope those three ball bearings there on the lower right corner of your picture didn’t come out of that though I would bet some money they did. There is a spring inside there that provides the return action. Look up a rebuild document/video for your brakes and see if that helps.
