No, it is not structural.
Repairs to rotting windows and doors are typically considered maintenance repairs rather than structural repairs. Structural repairs usually involve fixing issues related to the foundation, load-bearing walls, or support beams of a building that affect its overall stability and safety. Rotting windows and doors, while important to address, are usually seen as maintenance to prevent further damage and ensure energy efficiency.
That would be the spine, to which the ribs are connected.
A strap beam is a beam that connects two foundation footings toghether (needs structural study to see whether to put a STB or not)...
A drop beam is a structural beam that is placed underneath the structrual member or members it is supporting, as opposed to a flush beam, which is placed in-line with the members it is supporting. For a visual explanation, see the image here: http://www.benedictdesign.com/floorframing.jpg
A girt is a horizontal structural member of post and beam architecture.

Depends on the loads and the properties of the beam. Consult a structural engineer.
