While an abscessed root canal may not cause deafness or blindness--it needs to be treated as soon as possible. A tooth that is foul smelling means that it is infected... the change that you may have noticed in the right side of your face could be the beginning of swelling in your face and yes, the other changes could be related to the tooth. A complication of an abscessed tooth can be sepsis which can lead to death. I don't want to scare you but you need to see a dentist as soon as possible.
