Valves almost never spontaneously stick on cars that are in service. It is after they just are awakened from storage or the morning after they have some really ancient stinky gas run through them which gums up the intakes.

You almost certainly have a blown head gasket. You can change it in less time than watching a couple episodes of Game of Thrones. Resist the temptation to have the head milled unless it is warped left to right or severely pitted. Front to back is a virtual non issue as one of those heads will deflect .002 in the middle with thumb pressure.

The compression readings are quite low and suggests its time for a ring job, but if you are satisfied with how the car ran before, then just slap a head gasket on it.
