How would I get rid of the line in the header, and the line and page numbering in the footer?

My code is below.

From your MWE just few changes:

\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{My Name}
\chead{}
\rhead{\thepage}
\cfoot{} % get rid of the page number 
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

By setting the \headrulewidth and \footrulewidth to 0pt you can remove them as described in the documentation of the package fancyhdr.
