Answer
Toy4education.com is giving one Kapla block set with Ferrari F1 12v that is also a wonderful building block set for kids. They not learn to build magnificent structures but also encourages them to be more creative.

Answer
Drop-box organizing is really best for kids that age. You organize shoe boxes or plastic bins in the cubes or on the shelves, and that way when she want the box of one thing she takes it out, then drops everything back in and puts it away.
As for the height of the clothing, your best bet is to lower the bar to her height but that would take up the bottom where you want to put the cubicals. So it really is a mater of what you need more-- the cubicals in the closet, or the bar lower.
Maybe you can get the clothes down for tomorrow and put them on the doorknob or something, or designate a place for her to put her hangers and re-hang her clothes, and then you just have to grab them and put them up top.
Parting with some toys is going to be difficult, you can tell her that the room is too crowded so you're going to put the toys on a rotation. Ask her to separate them and put half in a box that you will store elsewhere (your room, or the garage, whatever).
Tell her that after a few weeks, you will bring the old box in and she can switch out whatever she wants-- and since she hasn't seen them it will be like having new toys all over again. Explain she's not losing them, you're just trying to keep them organized by switching them out-- you can even mark "switch day" on a calender and she can look forward to it each month.
But after a couple of months you'll start to see what stays on the bottom of the box that she doesn't touch at all, and you might be able to start convincing her to part with them.
One way I got my kids when reluctant to part with old toys is by telling them to trade them in-- bring them to a thrift shop to trade in for a credit-- bring 10 things and they get to pick out one new one (sometimes their stuff wasn't worth anything so I'd put $2 or $3 down for credit myself).
Once you do get things in order the most important thing is going to be training her to keep up with it, so it's important to strictly enforce rules like 1 thing at a time/put away when done, or have big fun clean up times together and make it fun. Give her lots of praise for keeping her things in order.
