Answer 1

Cut the ragged end off clean and let it grow.  It will send out new growth.  It sounds like you need a bigger pot.  A tomato plant does well in a pot at least three gallons in size and even better in a five gallon pot.    And ditto for the broken part.  Cut the broken end of and put it in water.  It will grow new roots and you can plant it as well.  If the animals are a problem outside leave the plants on a sunny porch.  They need lots of sunshine.

Answer 2

I agree, it will be fine.

Answer 3

Tomatoes are very resilient plants, and with any luck your plant will put out new shoots and keep growing.  Make sure to give it all the sunlight you can and all the water it needs.  Tomatoes are hungry, thirsty plants.

Answer 4

Tomatoes can regrow a stem.

Cut a healthy branch off near the crotch, place it in water and if the plant is healthy roots will form.  In another few weeks you could then replant the tomato and continue your harvest.

This "stem cutting" is actually a common practice and you get replicas of good plants.  Plants grow faster this way than by seed.

Answer 5

it  will be fine just as 65% said
