yes you just need to remove the old liner, take out any rotted pieces of plywood or 2x4s, replace the rotted pieces while putting back any dirt that falls in while removing the old pices of plywood, then either put old liner back in or replace with new liner
A light acid wash should remove the chalk.
mainly because they are rated on BTU size...
the concrete should be 6" according to this site http://www.de-fontenay.com/poolcon4.htm
Not financially sound. It would be better to keep the dogs out.

Probably not without draining the pool. You need a pro to come in and evaluate. Many times they are not even fixable, particularly if the pool walls are deformed. Just cant push the dirt back easily.
NO however you should keep in mind that the ground water outside of the pool is not going to put pressure on it as this is capable of even lifting a concrete pool out of the ground.
It sounds like their house could use a renovation. Replacing the carpet and repainting the walls would be a good way to freshen up the space and give it a new look. This could increase the aesthetic appeal and potentially even the value of the property.
Well first of all there is no such thing as a fiberglass pool. You can have fiberglass walls instead of steel but your pool is still vinyl because you need a liner. These are the usual combinations of inground pools. Sand floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Sand floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, concrete walls, no liner Concrete pools have to be painted with epoxy paint or if you want tile installed then usually you plaster over the concrete. Now a days 3 and 4 are the most common inground installs. 1 and 2 are usually pools that are 30 + years old although you can still have them done that way. In South Alabama the cost of a 20 *40 vinyl pool will cost around 18 to 22 thousand
absolutly not In the case of most pools esp, pools with liners, the concrete rim around the pool is an integral part of the whole structure. It serves a solid rim to support the walls of the pool.
Steel walls are currently the lowest quality wall for a swimming pool, with the exception of Cyprus wood (if still available). Concrete (not gunite) is superior to any other wall, but a pool with concrete walls generally also has a concrete bottom. In other words, it is a concrete swimming pool. The most popular wall today for vinyl liner pools is fiberglass and, with the possible exception of concrete, is the best possible choice.
If the mold is only on the exterior of something non-porous, such as tile, it may be cleaned. However, if the mold has penetrated drywall or wood, the walls should be removed back to the clean, dry section and then replaced.
