1. The module I created is still present in ~/Library/ Application

Without seeing the module, it is just a guess. Perhaps you've mad a
change to such that the file is no longer a valid plist.
plutil <file>
can be used to syntax check the plist.
2. Is there anyway to have languages automatically recognised when
loading a file, say be matching a regex at the start of the file?
The files I am using do not have extensions
Language guessing is only available to compiled language modules.
3. Comments start with a ‘C’ as the first character on a line i.e.
^C then any characters until a ‘$’ character i.e. \$ but may span
multiple lines and include newline characters. Are there any
examples of strings to match this type of comment? In other editors
(that allowed dot to match newlines) I used ^C.*?\$.
For some examples:
C This is a comment $
C This also
C a comment $
C This is also
valid as a comment $
This is really a regex question in its own right, since the solution
is the same whether or not you are writing a codeless language module.
Choose "Grep Reference" from the "Help" menu, then click on "Advanced
Grep Topics" and read about pattern modifiers.
Something like this ought to solve the problem:
(?s)^C.*?\$
