Fine, cut the relevant part off, same process applies. You could use smaller size screws to minimise risk of splitting further
Both, you just need to bang them!!
Just the end ones I would think?
Cheap timber , seen it happen before , should be fine as is or stick a bit of pva in there and secure with a couple of screws.
Some are secured at ends only other are all screwed , depends on manufacturers design .

The end ones just hook over a block of wood on ours.

I went out looking at new beds yesterday, they are now made of such cheap crappy materials that I will not be getting a new bed unless I want to spend way way more money.
1/4" slats held by plastic end pieces that fit onto something that feels about 1/4" thick - no ta.
Methinks I'll stick with my existing bed frame & just replace the mattress.

I think the plastic bits are quite effective at preventing creaking noises.
