while ( $rows =  $new_result->fetch_assoc() ) {

$total = mysqli_num_rows($result);
$store = $rows['store'];
$productId = $rows['productId'];

Answer 1

This is not the right way to do it, as your $rows object contains an array of fetched results -> $row['columnname'], $row['columnname2'] and so on. Instead, use it in one query :

"SELECT * FROM $table_name_3 WHERE `categories` LIKE  '$newq' 
                            AND `inStock` LIKE 'true' 
                            LIMIT ($page_limit-$offset) OFFSET $offset"

Answer 2

You code doesn't make much sense, I don't understand why two requests and I don't understand the 2nd request at all, have you tried with one request?

SELECT * FROM $table_name_3
 WHERE 
`categories` LIKE  '$newq' 
 AND `inStock` LIKE 'true' 
 LIMIT $start,$page_limit
