I should also add that I may have added the Dropbox app to my old computer under an old email address which I don't have access to anymore.

So now I can't even log into that old account (I had remembered the password correctly), and I try to contact support but it only gives me a business development page. How do I get my files back? It shouldn't be this hard.

Without access to the email its very unlikely you can do so - for the obvious security issues and reasons.
You need to contact support via www.dropbox.com/support WHILE NOT LOGGED IN, even here, so use an incognito window.
