If that was my tank, I would redo the braces to go all the way around the perimeter. But that’s just me.
 
I would definitely replace it, looks like an internal overflow was removed which would have braced that corner.
 
Yes.

The braces stop the sides from bowing out and hold the tops of the sides together. There’s no way I’d put water in that thing.
