Hi
1) yes, you can see the errors even if the cdrom drive is not used at all
2) this is how the OS sees the devices, via controller numbers and target id etc.
you can check the device path from ok> prompt too , using devalias

3) yes, you may not wish to replace the drive and continue using the system
BUT, a caution!! if your system corrupts for any reason and if there's a need rise to use the drive to boot from cdrom, THEN YOU WILL have a problem..
SO suggest to just replace it.
