and don't try to heat it up either. The rod is aluminum and will burn through if you try to heat the nut. You can tell that I broke one once:-D

yes. it sometimes can be removed and cleaned out. A new one is around $130. At your milage I would look into vacuum leaks FIRST and than at the IACV.

That means you're buying a new axle. Don't just replace the CV boot as you don't know how much junk already got in there and what damage has been done. Lifetime warranty axles are like $90-130 at advance or zutozone.
