Do I need to replace the jamb?

A previous tenant damaged this door frame. Is this repairable with a patch(Dutchman?) or should the jamb be removed and replaced?

I’m also interested in figuring out what to do with the door. I like the old style mortise knob. Is it best to keep it modern or to restore it? Would I just cut plugs in the shapes of the holes?
