Could I be pregnant?

Depending on where you are in your cycle when you take Plan B, one of the side-effects of this medication can be that your period may come sooner or later than expected. If taken prior to ovulation, Plan B works by delaying ovulation which would then, in turn, delay your period. This is normal and might explain why your period is late. I would wait another week and if your period still has not come, take another pregnancy test. If it has been over 21 days since the unprotected sex and your period still has not come and your pregnancy tests continue to be negative, consult with your GYN provider.

Vaginal infection?

Vaginal discharge that is either clear or white and ranges in texture from egg whites to creamy/lotion-like consistency is normal. If you are experiencing discharge with a color (yellow, grey, green) or odor (fishy), that could indicate a vaginal infection. If you are experiencing a fishy odor this could be bacterial vaginosis, which is an overgrowth of bacteria in the vaginal that is typically treated with an antibiotic. Sometimes your body can clear these kinds of infections on its own, but if you have been experiencing these symptoms for years, I would see your provider to determine if medication might be helpful to resolve these symptoms.

Vagina discharge gone/just little blood discharge?

Often a yeast infection will cause external irritation to the skin of the vulva, making it more likely to crack and bleed. This could be what you are noticing on the toilet tissue after wiping if the bleeding is only when wiping and is only a small amount of bright red blood. However, if you are noticing larger amounts of dark red/brown blood this could be uterine bleeding which would be something you'd want to get checked out by your provider if you are post-menopausal. It might be worth checking in with your provider to get treatment for the yeast infection and discuss the bleeding to determine if further evaluation is necessary.
