Hi, I newly purchased this boom box and played well for a while, but then all of a sudden it just stopped playing and It won’t keep playing. It can rewind and fast-forward, but it won’t eject. So how do I open it with the cassette still in the boom box to fix this problem?

Ok i got it open, any way i can keep it playing. It seems that sometimes it will play all the time and other times it won’t continuously play.
I dont rhink its a belt problem. Its just that the buttons don’t always stay down. Maybe a spring gone bad?
Sorry, I don't know that model.
But in the second picture where you circled the 'faulty' section I notice that right above the circle there is a slanted (rubber) wheel or something. Is that how it should be? Normally everything is in line in the cassette mechs I have seen.

It’s a gear and it seems that every once in a while it pops up like that but then it corrects itself back to where its supposed to be. Do I take apart the whole thing to see and possibly fix a placement issue?
'Once in a while' sounds to me like this is the issue and fits to the occasional error you experience. Take a good look and find out why it pops out of place / isn't held in place. There must be a reason.
Normally it is easier to find the source of a problem when things are assembled – depending on how good you can see the parts while working.
But if taking apart the mechanism is the only way to find out I am afraid you will have to do that. Take photos, the mechs look more complicated to disassemble and reassamble than they are. In most cases all falls into place when putting back together.

If you haven't done that I would recommend to do this first, too. Maybe a (still working but) loose belt prevents it from staying in place. Worth a try.
