Brazing can be done with a small torch or a big soldering iron. Either electric or brazier heated. The tip on a torch should be small as you don't need the heat you use when gas welding or cutting.
Yes, it should, I actually have a project that needs me to cut a cast iron pipe, and my soulution was to use a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter was develiped to cut both ferrous and non-ferrous materialls. Unlike a oxy-gas torch which is only good for steel which has a high Iron content, Plasma will cut steel, stainless steel (which has a much lower Iron content), Aluminum, and I am sure will cut other metals as well. The cutting action is based more on the extreme concentrated heat cutting the material more than a chemical reaction, or burning action of the material.

If the pipe is No Hub cast Iron you can use a mission cap If the cast Iron is bell then you caulk in a cast iron plug If the cast iron is a spigot end you get a transition coupling either standard weight CI or extra heavy and then use a cast iron cap in the transition coupling

how do i cut cast iron
I like to use tools. Screw drivers, rubber mallet, pliers, etc. For the adventureous, cutting torch and welding iron might come in handy (optional).
NO, it has to be cut with a cutting or grinding disc.

The torch is constructed of copper and wrought iron.
it is none
Use a Barbie head. Sawzall with metal cutting blade to cut through pipe without damaging cast iron pipe.
Yes. I have replaced a lot of old leaky cast iron sewer pipe and always use a sawzall. I use regular metal cutting blades. If you don't have the specific blade handy use bimetal cutting blades.

Iron was a strong, durable metal, It could be cast, machined, and would hold a cutting edge.
