Is there anything I can do to prevent his threats of eviction and hateful emails at this point? My ex told him to go ahead and start legal action. But what legal action can actually be taken?
You can’t prevent him from making threats, but remedies are available to you if he violates landlord-tenant laws. As llworking pointed out, he can’t take any action at this point. Feb 1 is not 30 days notice to terminate your tenancy assuming it is month-to-month.

Do you intend to stay or do you just need more time?

If you haven’t yet, take a look at ORC 5321 with attention to 5321.16 about security deposits and 5321.17 about termination of tenancy. Also you could read this booklet.
