I wouldn't say small talk has ever changed significantly, it's always been about the news, music, the economy, popular culture, etc. Perhaps the way that we talk has changed with time just like the things that we talk about, but the topics of small talk are basically the same.
If you can't talk with your friend in person, I would suggest a phone call over the texting. A phone call is much more personal. It would mean so much more to your friend.
You would call them either mute or dumb (as in "deaf and dumb").
Try and call them and talk simple and politely. If they do not want to talk with you don't push it or bother them - it would best to move on.
Usually not. Possibly in a very small town.
