Answer 1

Yes they can but it could also be a lack of calcium

Answer 2

Yes and it could be do to the lack light.

Answer 3

They can break toes, but more commonly they get shed skin stuck on their toes which acts like a tourniquet and cuts off the blood supply.  Supplying a humid hide at all times is critical to good leopard gecko shedding.  If he does have shed on his toes, you will need to soak him in a liitle tub of shallow warm water for 15 minutes, then try to roll the skin off with a wet Q-tip.  Repeat as needed.
