They only had enough fuel to land on Mars for the original mission in the lander and then go back to the ship once; fuel is heavy so they only have enough to use within a fairly limited budget.

I once played a very minor part of the Mars Pathfinder mission's success. Pathfinder itself was the lander that also transported the Sojourner rover (the first one ever sent to Mars). During the cruise part of the mission JPL asked the spacecraft to take more images of asteroids than was in the original mission plan, so the lander's memory became more cluttered with "stuff". This led to the operating system (vxWorks) becoming more busy and eventually triggering priority inversion events which the watchdog hardware had to recover by resetting the onboard computer too much. For some reason JPL did not actually enable the priority inversion prevention feature already built into vxWorks, which required a memory patch by remote control from millions and millions of miles away. Eventually that worked, so yay. Nothing wrong happened to the Sojourner rover except the expected freezing of the wheels and loss of power from the solar panels. I was working at Wind River (the maker of the vxWorks OS) at the time and really was extremely motivated to help make everything work as much as I could.

In actuality, Mar's atmosphere is so thin, you wouldn't even feel it, and trying to steer yourself using the thrust of a hole in your suit is criminally stupid. Other than that, most of the rest of the movie is pretty scientifically accurate.

Also, releasing all your ship's atmosphere by blowing a hatch would have very little effect on your velocity. All it would do is send the ship into an awful spin. You'd use more fuel correcting that than you'd get from the release.

One of the earliest (cerebral) Sci-Fi movies I recall being obsessed with is Silent Running (1972) starring Bruce Dern. It has the general vibe that a lot of pre-Star Wars science fiction had in the early 1970s and a message that was rooted in the culture of the era when it was produced. Sorry, I can't be more specific without risk of spoiling things, but it would be a great movie to react to.

Caught that huh? The answer is no, just planting potatoes with human waste as fertilizer in mars dirt would not work. Time constraints for the movie, but in the book what he did was he used the small amount of earth soil they brought with them for experiments to mix with mars dirt. So that the organisms in the earth soil would propagate into the mars dirt. And then he just kept doubling it, over and over, until he had enough to farm. Also, the scientific accuracy in the book was seemingly very high, aside from the thing that caused him to get stranded there. The atmosphere of Mars is way too thin to allow for winds like that. There wouldn’t be wind storms powerful enough to tip their MAV (Mars ascent vehicle)

I would have had Watney further away, and the danger wouldn't have been the winds but the lightning from the storm. He could have suffered a near miss from a lightning bolt and it could have knocked out his radio and network communications while his fellow astronauts took off to avoid being hit by lightning.
