This is definitely worn clutch plates. When the plates wear their thickness is reduced so the 'declutching' pin is pushed more towards the left of the engine. So, cable play is reduced more and more with wearing plates.
This also explains your stalling problems, your clutch could not disengage fully anymore, so rear wheel stops in first gear and blocks the engine. Running in neatral is fine, as is pulling away with a bit of throttle.
Best to replace the plates or at least do something against the slipping that causes the wear. If no plates available consider to put some washers under the springs to increase perssure. However, new plates is preferred. Don't forget to also order / buy the gasket for the clutch covert. It's a bitch to make yourself (as I just had to do).
