You're not really going to find any significant differences between .22 LR pistols. I do believe the Thompson Contender can be chambered in .22-250, and it's a very simple single shot mechanism... however, probably not really what you had in mind.
What kind of loads are you going to be putting through it? You really can't go wrong with a Ruger Mk. I/II/III, except that they can be a bit difficult taking apart and putting back together for cleaning. The Sig Mosquito is an excellent pistol, but very fickle about which ammo it likes. Of course, a good revolver is always an excellent choice for barrel length and reliability - but only from reputable manufacturers, such as Ruger, Smith & Wesson, etc.
However, I can't really recommend a .22 for self defence. Granted, shot placement makes all the difference, but still...

Do 380 auto pistols jam more frequently than larger caliber guns?
No. There are many low-quality pistols in .380, but this is not related to the caliber. If it is a reliable model, it won't jam more than any reliable larger caliber. Badly designed and sloppily made pistols will jam, quality pistols will work perfectly. For instance, SIG Sauer P230 is chambered in .380 and is one of the most reliable pistols out there.
