No. No cell will be converted into another kind, ever (unless it is a stem cell) All tissues, such as blood (yes it is considered tissue) or bone, are continually broken down and replaced (not nervous tissue). The blood that is around the bone will be broken apart into its little pieces and digested. Some materials will be recycled and reused to make new cells, like proteins, and the rest will be excreted (through your pee.) Regardless of whether you break a bone or not, there are special cells that come around and break down your bone and replace it with new cells throughout your life. When your bone heals special cells are building up new bone to close the gap, but it does not use blood to do this.

The broken bone may stop producing blood, but the rest of the body's bones will keep functioning properly. Unless they are broken too or affected by a disease that affects blood generation.

Yes, skeletal tissue has a very rich blood supply and generally bleeds when a fracture occurs due to the ruptured blood vessels.
