So things I have done:

Installed TWRP (fully)
Installed no varify
tried to get root, couldn't for some odd reason followed a guide that told me to wipe everything under advanced in twrp and did.

Now this is where my problem lies, I can't boot my phone up at all, got a black screen that says N/A. I can't find a flashable Perry for the Moto E4 that's unlocked, the links I get are here for the stock images, but I can't flash them on an SD card through TWRP.

As I am poking around I am seeing this when I do use "adb install OS.zip (a zip file I found that's not flashable) C:\Users\kevin>adb install OS.zip

You did it wrong, you're supposed to go to wipe in twrp and format data, then reboot back into recovery flash no verity and then your su and then the phone will boot. It will still show n/a after doing this but should boot back up.

I don't think you wiped your system because it would tell you if you did. Go to twrp format data and then reboot back into recovery, once you've done that then flash no verity then your su of choice, reboot the device and it should work.

I actually just got done with that, but I can't root the phone it seems, have SU on my SD flashed it after doing the Verity, still no root access.

Also I have "retail services have stopped" error as well.

The files that you have linked to are firmware files, and are only flashed through fastboot or RSD Lite. See if you could find a guide here in this forum. If not, I created [THIS] guide a few years back that should help, follow #4 but don't use the posted links.
