My ex-preemie with developmental delays did not have those issues, but I would say that particularly if you suspect that your child has some kind of behavioral disorder, boundaries need to be put into place, even though enforcing them constantly is exhausting. Consequences (time-out, loss of privileges, whatever works) need to be immediate.

Also, don't forget that he's 3, and some perfectly normal 3 year olds are like this! They become better behaved as a result of time but also constant enforcement of rules. I can speak to the self-entertainment. I instituted one hour of me-time when DC2 was 3, when no one was allowed to bother me and the children had to figure out their own play without asking me. After some whining, they got the message.

My kids are well-behaved, but my oldest is so forgetful and disorganized (inattentive ADHD) that it annoys me to an extraordinary degree. There are days when I lose my temper and yell. You don't have to be perfect all the time, OP.
