Of course the "benefit" of plea bargaining is that it provides certainty as opposed to the unknown of how a trial will turn out. If the trial is likely to go badly for the defendant (i.e. high likelihood of being convicted of the most srious charge and getting a long sentence) and there is an offer of pleading guilty to a less serious charge and getting a shorter sentence, then it could be advantageous to plea bargain. A trial (depending ont he exact charges) can be "all or nothing" - no middle ground. Sometimes a middle ground is beneficial enough to consider taking.

Am I facing criminal or civil actions?

From your description of the situation it seems this other person may have a civil case against you to recover the money he says he loaned you 5 years ago.  He can sue you in small claims court (like the shows on TV - Judge Judy, People's Court, Judge Joe, etc.) and get it decided by a court - if the amount he seeks is under $7500.   His "Harrassment" of you is a criminal matter and if he trespasses on your property (i.e. does not leave after you tell him to) or sontinually contacts you after you have told him to stop, he could be charged with Trespassing as a criminal offense and / or Harassment.
