Answer 1

$payments will be a query result object, not a single result. With this query, where you're expecting just a single row, add ->first() after your sum call.

In general, if you're not getting what you expect, dump the contents of the variable in question, like with pr($payments) or debug($payments), that will very often very quickly give you a clear indication of what the problem is. In this case, you'll see it's not the Entity object that you're expecting.
