There's nothing to do to help sealing it back, and you don't need to. There's no other care that is needed also; if the plant really takes off and start growing, then I guess the root is doing ok, that's what you should care about the most -ROOTS. For the 3rd question, I'd say as long as there're viable root, another new shoot will soon replace the lost one, check for the most obvious "eye" at the base of the rhizome. Good luck! However, no flower just yet
