Try setting nstxout = 1.

Try ngmx, using your input .gro and .tpr files.

It wouldn't; I suspect an incorrect topology or perhaps poor minimization, but
it is difficult to say.  Perhaps the slabs being "pushed together" is an
artifact of periodic boundary conditions, and is unrelated to your crash.  See
