Does having dry skin around your lip piercing mean its infected?

No it doesnt. If its infected, you would have green/yellow discharge from the piercing, swelling, and redness for more than a week or two. The dryness is probably from overcleaning. If you're using soap, stop. Its either too harsh or you're using it too often. Only use soap about once a week. Use a sea salt and warm water solution. Don;t use too much salt or use it more than 2 times a day bc that will lead to drying too. Just use warm water to clean it until the dryness goes away.

Crust forming around your piercing is part of the healing process. Do not pick the crust off as it will reopen the wound.
If a ear piercing is sore does that mean it infected?
Swelling doesn't always indicate infection, new piercings around eyes and lips will swell, this is not unusual, the swelling generally eases in the following 5 days post piercing. However if the jewellery is tight in the piercing then this can cause issues with the healing and cleaning of the piercing which can lead to infection.

Will an ear piercing get infected if you open it up after 35 years?
If by reopening it you mean re-piercing it, then yes, theres a chance that it'll get infected. If the piercing is healed over, go get it professionally repierced. Scar tissue can be a little tough to pierce through. Repiercing it yourself with non-sterile jewelry greatly increases the risk of infection. If it hasnt healed over, its fine because scar tissue has formed and you arent creating a new wound.
