> Am I at a dead end? There doesn't seem to be any way out of the spot I'm in. I'm in a building on Akumos and can't get out. I either get killed by beetles in a glass box, captured when I go north in the alley or shot when I try to open a door a few times. I have also searched boxes many times in a row and done other actions many times (throwing rocks, investigating walls etc). What next? Does anyone have any hints for me?

You've searched boxes many times in a row...ok, so you probably have the first item you'll need. Then you need to lure in the guard who keeps capturing you. Timing is important here, so pay attention to how long it takes for him to come back once he leaves.
