    These can usually be wiped off, but this can be a sign that your water is salty, or the start of powdery mildew. Can you include photos? This will help me to see, exactly, what the problem is.

    The best cuttings are those that have two smaller segments growing from one segment, thus a Y shape, as in some of the pictures of the cuttings on this page:

    However, if you can't find this on your plant, a cutting that includes 2-3 segments growing in a straight line instead of a Y shape should also root.

    Sure you can use a small plant for propagation.

    Without a photo, it will be very hard to correct. This matches several possible issues. If there is a way that you can provide photos, then I can make better assessment. For now, I can only give you an article that will explain proper care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/christmas-cactus/advice-for-christmas-cactus-care.htm

    Yes, as long as the pot is not too overcrowded.

    Orchid cacti do not require frequent pruning, but annual maintenance pruning helps keep the plant balanced and healthy.
    Clip off all flowers after the blossoms expire. Make a cut just below the flower head.
