I can;t even schedule an appointment at the U.S. Passport Agency in Chicago because the next available appointment is in 2 weeks. Do you think they will just let me walk in if I have my itinerary and plane tix saying that I'm leaving tomorrow? Also, do you know if it's physically possible to make passports on the spot?
I desperately need help. Does anyone know how this passport process works considering my circumstances? Thanks.

Same day processing is somewhat of misnomer. You need to be in front of an officer first thing in the morning in order to receive a passport in the afternoon. If you are there in the afternoon, chances are they won't be able to complete the processing and prepare the passport by the close of the business day.
You have an additional problem that your photographs are in South Carolina. You'll need another set of passport photos with you when you go to the Chicago State Dept. office. No photographs, no passport.
