My question is, what to do if I can't do a single pull-up? I have been standing on something to get myself to the top of the pull-up, then trying to let myself down slowly. The first time, I kept dropping like a rock lol. But now I can let myself down slowly for the first few. So am I wasting my time with these or is this what I should be doing? Could these "let-downs" be the reason I seem to be making progress? I am also doing deadlifts, one arm DB rows, DB curls, and hammer curls on my back/bi day.

you could try using straps or gloves too.
I used to find pullups hard due to my grip and by using straps my pullups have improved.
I know some people will say that straps are useless and you will end up with weaker forearms but what you have to remmeber is that pullups are a back exercise not a forearm exercise.
And you can always do some static holds or farmers walk afterwards.
