1. Weld them back together
2. Too many answers, but you could bridge them, weld them, connect them using the Polygon tool....
3. I don't understand what you're saying, if you mean you created a new idle animation then whether or not you need more animations is up to you

A little more info and maybe some pics of what you're trying to do would help us help you even better.

2. The Add Edge tool just adds edges to existing polygons, you can't draw an edge in space, use curves to do that.
Here's a demonstration video showing 3 different ways to connect polygons:
Connecting polygons
The second method shown is by using the weld function of the Tweak Component tool, press M on your keyboard to activate the Tweak Component tool.

4. I don't see any reason why you can't, try it and see.
