You may have power to the coil but if it doesn't "pulse" in time with the engine revolutions you'll never get a spark.
With the key on, disconnect the power to the coil. You'll see a big spark as you disconnect the wire if the coil is working. (use plastic pliers or something that will protect you from a really big electrical surge, getting shocked with one of those things isn't fun)
You could have a problem with the distributor "pickup" (I'm pretty sure a stock 83 doesn't have mechanical points), the control module or the coil itself. Replace the module in the rotor base. That sucker controls the coil firing and is often intermittent.
If you are talking about an engine it sounds like it is the distributor.
Yes, it will.
Just a thought. If the rotor broke, could it have caught in the cap and turned your distributor and put the engine out of timing? Check the condition of the cap and the contacts inside it,\.
Yes.

First, remove it from the engine. Then drive the roll pin out of the gear on the bottom of it with a small punch. Now pull the center shaft were the roter button bolts to it straight out.
