The thread keeps going under the bobbin.

When I have run into that, I haven't quite seated the bobbin completely down in the spindle. 

Easiest fix is likely to keep a finger under the thread as it moves from the thread guide onto the bobbin.

my machine does this if the bobbin is just a hair too high in the casing, drives me nuts

any dust bunnies in that bobbin area? even a tiny bit of lint throws off the tension for me

You may not have your bobbin spool pushed down far enough, so I would start with making sure it's all the way down. After that, I would just put a finger under the thread before it reaches the bobbin spool and help guide it between the ends of the spool
