From an employment (and potential lawsuit) standpoint, quitting was an error, although from a potential danger standpoint, it's hard to say it was. If you had asked before you left, my advice on the harassment would have be to go to the top of the company, and on the threats, the police.

You can only sue if the harassment you've experienced is illegal. And harassment is only illegal if it's based specifically on things like your race, gender, religion, disability and/or age (if you're over 40). Unfortunately, nothing in your post indicates that what you've experienced is based on any of these things; ergo you do not have a case.

I was granted unemployment for proving harassment and still have the dirty texts the boy sent me and have cell phone records of boss calling me

No, not with the EEOC. The employer is too small to fall under the EEOC.

You can, however, file with the state equivalent. IN has a lower floor for harassment claims at the state level.
