A leaning section almost always means a post has gone at ground level, even when the timber above looks sound. Pushing it back and bracing it is a temporary fix on a post that will not recover.
Where the posts are sound and the panels have weathered, replacing panels is straightforward and far cheaper than a new fence. Where the posts are going, replacing panels onto failing posts is money spent twice.
Storm damage is its own case, and worth photographing before anything is touched if there is any chance of an insurance claim.

Not durably. A lean almost always means the post has failed at the soil line, and bracing a rotten post buys a season.
The post is the repair.
Yes, if the posts are sound — that is the cheap, sensible repair. If the posts are going, new panels on old posts is money you will spend again.
New timber will not match weathered timber, and honestly it will not for a year or two. It weathers in.
Anyone promising an invisible match is overselling.
