What are the risks of an unprotected handjob, and which STI tests are required?

The risk of acquiring an STI from unprotected handjob is extremely low. There is no contact with blood and body fluids so there is no risk of infections like HIV, chlamydia or gonorrhoea. If the person has viral warts or herpes viral infection of her hand, there is possibility of these to be spread by contact. However, the risk is generally low. Viral warts will present with warty bumps on the penis and herpes presents with redness and painful blisters. In the absence of these signs and symptoms, it should be fine. For this encounter, no specific blood test is required.

How should I continue taking my oral contraceptive pill after stopping it?

It would be important for you to get a work up of the irregular periods first before you resume your Yasmin. Resuming birth control pills is ideally done with the first day of your period, but this should only be after other causes of your irregular periods have been excluded. Hope this helps.
