How to fix water damage to siding, door, door trim, threshold?

need to deal with water damage in siding, door threshold, and door itself. (see photos).

DIY questions:

  1. vertical siding panels — can I replace only half a panel, or do I need to go all the way up to the roof? (previous panels touched the concrete, so I know I need to leave 1 inch gap and install z flashing)
  2. big gaping holes in the trim — I think I can/should fill these with balls of Abatron WoodEpox? (only bottom of door trim impacted). Presumably, there should also be a 1 inch gap between trim and concrete?
  3. Door itself —bottom part of door is soft and rotted — completely replace door?
  4. Metal threshold (was partially glued to concrete, I've removed it and, in the photo, it's in front of where it should be) — how do I install a threshold that is more water proof/resistant?

I know, lots of questions. TYIA
