The last action I took on my image was editing a typed layer's bounding box.

-I can't edit layers (I can only chose to link and view them).
-When I use the type tool, no matter whether I chose the type marquee or regular type, it automatically does a type marquee.
-My selected layer has a thick, black border around its thumbnail, rather than a thin, double lined border.
-This is only occurring in one file, but since I cannot copy anything in the file, I can't simply dodge the issue by copy/pasting my progress into a new file.

I'm sure I've accidentally activated some layer editing mode that I don't know how to deactivate, but I'm out of my depth. Thanks in advance for answers.

Sounds like an image mode problem.

Check to see your in RGB 8Bits/Channel (Its in the Photoshop menu Image > Mode)

If that doesn't work then take a screenshot of your layers panel and upload it and it might reveal a bit more about whats going on.
