You just haven't played it enough yet. Once you get to the Dr. Wily stage where you have to fight all 8 bosses again, you'll become very skilled and be able to beat them blaster only with enough practice.
As for Jewel Man, you need to shoot repeatedly at him. If you hit a jewel, it disappears and that is one less Jewel you'll have to dodge. If you hit him, that's even better and it causes damage.
He mimics your jumps, so practice your timing. The idea is to jump so he goes into the air, then immediately run under him and shoot him in the back.
I'm sure there's a bazillion youtube videos up there for this game, go check one out.
