Am I truly not accountable for anything, even if I genuinely considered her my wife and wished to complete the matter, were it not for the appearance of someone who provided me with life, money, and a home, so I sold everything? And is my informing her that she is divorced sufficient to end everything, or must she go to the Sharia courts to conclude the matter?

If you pronounced the divorce, then the matter between you two is concluded, and there is no need to go to court. And if he did not consummate the marriage with her, then she is not entitled to the mahr (dowry) or the mut'ah (compensatory gift). And marriage to her is not obligatory.
