Don’t sign anything. Don’t extend the inspection. Don’t fall for the sellers lowering the price!
There are many houses for sale. You will find one sooner than you think…

Depends on the wording of your contract - read it, know what it says and notify the agent. I would sign nothing extending the inspection period (what's the purpose of this since you have already had the inspection and notified the agent you want out?). The agent is trying to hold the deal together - which is their job. Are you working with a Realtor or a Villages sales person (there is a difference).
Unless you have hired a "buyer's agent" the agent's job is to sell the house, they are paid by the seller. Make sure you understand the fiduciary responsibility of the agent.
Most likely it is as simple of notifying the agent you want out, signing the proper release and waiting for the escrow return, read your contract and see if this is true. Many contracts have a specified dollar amount for repairs, does yours? Or does it specifically say void for certain types of issues? Your contract will govern the process.
DO NOT SIGN AN EXTENSSION if you want out.

The inspection period. If we don't sign, can we get our $10,000 back to move on and purchase another villa?

As a buyer you should be in contact with your agent. If you do not have representation, keep in mind the listing agent is now working as a transaction broker only and can only facilitate the transaction — they are under no obligation to provide guidance for your exclusive benefit. If you do not have your own agent, my recommendation is to contact a real estate attorney to be sure your are compliant and your rights under the contract are protected — timing matters!
