The top left is a slip OP, it moves up and down with a washer. Yes you could cut it all out from where B hits A and go 1.5” that whole way with an adjustable p trap kit. That’s the way 95%+ of homes are done.

Work your way from B back to the sink making sure everything is solid. Then make the final adjustment at the part above C.

PS- you already have 1.5” drop from the sink so going wider after that is pointless as that’s your bottleneck anyway.

Also make 100% sure you know where your leak is. With those supplies above the leak it could be a supply leaking onto the pipe and throwing you off, I’ve seen that many times.

ETA: also, try some thread tape. It should stop the leak for you it tightens the threads better it should prevent you from being able to tighten them all down.
