That's not a contradiction, it's a categorization.

You can't even categorize it without it being contradictory.

Category 1 - Everything.

Category 2 - God.

 

Category 1 includes God because Category 1 is "everything".  Again, for step 1, you'd have to say Category 1 except Category 2.

 

1) Everything (Category 1 except Category 2) is caused and everything (Category 1 except Category 2) that causes is caused itself (these are contingent beings and events, who can cause and are caused).

Which, again, means you can't say everything requires a cause...oh, except God.

No, category one would be everything that is caused and causes. Category two would be everything that causes but isn't caused.

There is no problem here.
