That really depends on the stoppup. If there is a solid in it(chicken bone, fork, etc) then using a plunger won't do any good. you should make sure the disposal is off and preferably have the backup turned off as well so it can't accidently turn on, then reach in (yeah its gonna probably be pretty gross) and pull out whatever is in it. Then you should flush water down it to see if you can clear it out. If you get everything out of the disposal and its still plugged then your evac tube is plugged, and that means you have to take apart your Plumbing (time to call a plumber).

Your source of water should not be an issue. But it may be an issue if you are on a home septic system. Some say not to use a garbage disposal when you are on a septic system, but you can. I know of some in use with septic systems and they have not had a problem. Generally you should have your tank pumped every five years. With a garbage disposal on the system you should have your tank pump every two or three years,

Your garbage disposal is already a breeding ground for microbes, so I would not worry about adding bacteria to it. But, I would be concerned about clogging the drain pipes with the peanut butter. Don't use the disposal. Just throw it in the trash.
