You can get a small chip or crack repaired by an auto glass specialist such as Safelite. A repair is a much better alternative to waiting it out until the small crack becomes larger and you are forced to replace the entire windshield.
It is possible to fix a cracked windshield, depending on the size and depth of the crack. If it is relatively small and shallow, you can use any number of sealers offered at most auto parts store. If the crack is very deep, however, you may just want to replace the windshield, as sometimes crack repairs can fail, causing your windshield to crack even worse.
No. A chip can be repaired, but not a crack.
Genrally repairs are just for holes like when a rock first hits. sometimes small cracks can be fixed. You will probably have to replace it. If the crack in your windshield is small enough you may be able to fix it yourself. There are windshield repair kits that inject a resin material into the crack, if it's too large for that it can be repaired by a professional without having to replace the entire windshield.
If the crack has not yet come large and cracked outwards, you can contact your insurance company to fix it. In many companies, they have small tape-like repair kits that will remedy the crack, or specialized companies that will fill in the crack free of charge!

This is a judgement call. If you feel that the crack could someday get bigger and cause the windshield to shatter, you should get it fixed immediately.
To fix a windshield crack, it can cost anywhere between $40 and $80 dollars. (depending on how big the crack is) If its a shattered windshield, it could cost thousands, depending on your car model. I suggest you ask a local gas station/repair shop.
Oh, dude, it's like this - a windshield replacement is when they straight-up swap out your whole windshield for a new one, like giving your car a fresh pair of glasses. On the other hand, a windshield repair is when they try to fix up a small crack or chip, like putting a band-aid on it and hoping for the best. So, like, one's a total makeover, and the other's just a quick fix, ya know?
It is not recommended to hide a windshield crack as it can compromise the safety of the vehicle. It is best to have the crack repaired by a professional to ensure the structural integrity of the windshield.
