Which "air pipe" are you talking about? If it's something before the throttle body, no, it wouldn't. If it's part of the EGR valve, a large vacuum line or other significant emissions device, yes, it certainly could.
To many people the EGR valve assembly on some vehicles can look like "an air pipe". If that's cracked you're allowing some of the cylinders to run very "lean" and that can cause burned valves or pistons.
YES
No.
what kind of "pipe"? solid metal pipe, or flexible rubber "pipe"? number one cause is from aged rubber that dries out and cracks. loose hose clamps, wore a hole through it, cracked thermostat housing, etc.
It is called a gas pedal. Check that the air flow meter pipe isn't cracked!
Yes, a cracked flex pipe can cause a loss of horsepower. The flex pipe is part of the exhaust system, and any leaks or cracks can lead to improper exhaust flow, reduced back pressure, and a decrease in engine performance. This can result in a drop in horsepower, as the engine struggles to expel exhaust gases efficiently. Additionally, it may also affect fuel efficiency and overall vehicle performance.
Depending on what year the vehicle, if the vehicle year is pre-cat it could cause a back fire under deacceleration. If the vehicle year is post-cat it could cause false 02 readings.
Probably the Thermostat has corroded and jamed. Or the ceramic pipe joins behind the engine are cracked. I would check these.
It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler. The hot pipe when splashed by cold water cause the metal to expand and contract so quickly the weld cracked off and the heat shield now rattles It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler.

To effectively repair a cracked PVC pipe, you can use a PVC pipe repair kit or epoxy putty. First, clean and dry the cracked area. Then, apply the repair material according to the kit's instructions, making sure to cover the crack completely. Allow it to cure as directed before using the pipe again.
I would not worry about the pipe. However the weed definitely does.
If it is leaking at a fitting, it is either a bad flare or it isn't tight enough. Gas or flare fittings should be put together dry, Do no use pipe dope because this can cause a leak between the mating surfaces. If it is in the line itself, either replace the line or cut it, flare the ends and put a fitting in.
Yes a clogged VENT pipe can cause a sluggish drain
