Nice looking routeri wouldn’t bother with the super glue it won’t do the trick. Probably safer than tig is silver solder or brazing. Some brazing rods look iron colored. Brazing is lower temperature and has less risk of warping.

You could solve the room under the plate and the cracked arm with a wooden sole addition, which is something easier to do. Note Paul has a wooden sole on at least one of his.
As to the iron, sharpen it and see how long it keeps an edge. Even annealed steel will work for a bit.
Veritas has a round shanked bit for their small router.
