None of those codes will cause your car to die, UNLESS you are out of gas. DTC P1431 Fuel Level Sensor 2 Performance

I filled the car up right before I went to get food. It will start for 5 seconds then sputter and die. Almost sounds like it's flooding out.

Or not getting enough fuel. Do you know how to check fuel pressure? On the fuel rail there is a schrader type valve you connect a pressure guage to and turn the key on. Pressure should be very close to 58-60 psi. The fuel pump will not throw a code and will definitively cause the problem you are seeing. Could be other things but i would start here.
