Yes you can still brush your teeth with a broken tooth; in fact it is recommended that you continue to brush as this can prevent the progression of a cavity deeper into the tooth. The tooth that is fractured may be more sensitive than the rest that is because the internal portion of the tooth may become stimulated by the movement of fluids, such as toothpaste and saliva.
Yes you can and you should. You should get that tooth looked at as soon as possible.
I assume you mean you want to brush a tooth which is broken. The answer is yes. Try and keep the tooth as clean as possible to hopefully avoid an infection.
Yes you can brush your teeth with a broken tooth. You want to keep the area as clean as possible to cut down the bacteria load and see a dentist as soon as possible.
