Yes, a single damaged section can usually be cut out and replaced with a matching piece joined by a scarf joint, so the rest of the run stays on the wall. The hard part is matching an older profile; a close match plus fresh paint across the whole wall usually hides the seam.
Gaps usually come from wood moving as it gains or loses moisture after installation. The USDA Forest Products Lab recommends interior trim average about 8% moisture content when installed in most of the U.S., so letting new trim acclimate in the house before cutting helps joints stay tight.
It can. In homes built before 1978, EPA's lead renovation rule covers paid work that disturbs paint, and only minor jobs disturbing six square feet or less of paint per room inside are exempt. Pulling a long run of old painted base can pass that limit.
If the baseboard is wet, the drywall behind it is soft, or it smells musty, stop pulling trim. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can open it up, check for moisture and tell you whether a plumber needs to come first.
