Do members of Congress have immunity from committing crimes, such as this? I would hope that McCarthy will ensure that he is charged appropriately.

No, the "speech and debate" clause specifically excepts felonies and "breach of the peace" from the immunity from arrest.
Something like pulling a fire alarm in order to create a diversion would definitely be a breach of the peace.
