    Could you separate the plants? Yes, but I would not really recommend it. unless you plan on planting your Norfolk Pine outdoors.
    If your temperatures drop below freezing, you should not plant directly into the soil, but leave your Norfolk Pine in a container.
    Norfolk's tend to drop their lower leaves, leaving the plant as is will result in a nicer and fuller plant.

    If you do choose to separate the plants, you could lose some of the plants due to transplant shock.
    They have likely been growing together in the nursery for some time and the root systems are very intertwined.

    It will grow again. It will never retain the same shape, but it will recover. It will just look a little different is all. You have nothing to worry about. Just care for it as usual.

    This can happen for many reasons. It will continue growing, but it might change shape on you. It is not likely to cause any real harm to your tree though.

    I would recommend a little wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime as it looks like you may have the start of an infection as well. Make sure to only water when the top of the soil is almost completely dry.

    It is likely that it is receiving too much care. These will like to dry out almost completely between waterings. I would also go ahead and add a little wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime to help kill any infections in the soil. If you can include photos, I will be able to better see what is going on.

    Yes, post of photo of your Norfolk Island Pine and the surrounding site. Is it a house plant or outdoors? It helps if you state you geographical area and something about the growing conditions and your water and soil management program. And is it a new planting or an established tree.

    Without more information, my first guess for an outdoor tree would be frost damage, second guess, indoor or outdoor would be water deficit, drought stress. There are other possibilities, like an insect pest (scale, mealybugs) or root rot.

    Yes, light change and lack of humidity can cause leaf drop.
