Did she have pre op bloodwork before her spay? If not, she should be checked. Some health problems present with the symptoms you describe, only a vet can tell you what may be going on with her.

She will start teething soon, if she hasn't already. This may be the reason for her preferring wet food. Did your vet check her teeth and mouth for any problems?

If she prefers wet food, you can always moisten dry food to any consistency she would like.

Usually when Yorkies turn 12 weeks, the hypoglycemia episodes will stop. That is one reason it is recommended for them to stay with their birthmoms until then.

Any quality food at Petsmart should be fine for her. I would, IMHO, stay away from the super high protein foods though. The important thing is to find what she will eat, and stick to it.

I'd really recommend getting your vet to evaluate her overall condition and have bloodwork done. Adding supplements to her food may not be a good idea until you know why her coat is thin and falling out and why she's being a picky eater. Her regular diet is balanced and adding to it may throw her off even more.
