Did you have a check engine light? I wonder if you are having a problem with shift solenoid A? This solenoid is required for 1st and 4th. Might be a good idea to have your vehicle scanned. Sounds like it might have gotten pretty hot for it to push oil out of the dipstick.

Well first did your ses light come on , A typical reason for a no first or fourth is a bad 1-2 shift solenoid stuck or the actual shift valve stuck. As for puking fluild out the dipstick thats ussually a sign the vent tube on top of the trans is plugged. But it does sound like it got a bit warm
