I think you have two different problems.
1 - Find the puddle under your car and then look straight up, the leak is going be up above the puddle or somewhere near it, the antifreeze might be following some hose or piece of metal and then ending up on the ground but it should still be somewhat above the puddle.
2 - Your A/C system has nothing to do with (or shouldn't have anything to do with) the antifreeze leaking, they are two totally separate systems.
My guess on this is that when your engine computer senses that things are too warm it starts shutting things off in an effort to help cool the engine down, kind of a self preservation kind of thing. But then again, just a guess.
Get the antifreeze leak under control and the problem with the A/C will probably go away as well.
