1. It sounds like you may have shorted out something in the receiver. Can it be fixed? Sure. It's anywhere from a $45 to several hundred dollar job, depending on what's damaged.
2. The same thing happened to me today. I have an 8 year old SHARP 27" TV that I just recently replaced with a 52 inch RCA. It worked great until the antenna port came apart when I was moving it to get it ready to sell to a potential buyer. My TV has the same symptom, you turn on, no picture and it sounds like its shutting off. If you have a warranty for the TV, a problem like that should be covered and just take it to someone who is an RCA certified techinican.
3. first off, that antenna connector didn't just fall off, it got RIPPED out. it takes a good amount of force to pull one out, its not easy even when you are trying. you must have cracked a circuit board and thats where your problem is
