Cracked iPad mini screen?!

This has never happened to me before but after 3 long years, my iPad mini screen cracked on the bottom right. I don't know what to do at this point and I would like some advice please?

I've looked through the internet and it's given me mixed ideas on what to do. Some forums said to directly go to apple because if you go to a third party repair man, they won't fix the device for you anymore? (If i interpreted it correctly) But 3rd party vendors are cheaper and quicker on repairs.

Is it worth paying the expensive screen repair from Apple or just go to a 3rd party repair man for a 3 year old ipad mini? If the 3rd party is better, should I still backup my ipad? I have this weekend to fix it asap.

One more question, is a cracked device dangerous to use?

My ipad 2 is almost always on 1 bar?

I've had my ipad 2 for a while now (2 years) but just before the new ios update was released i've been just getting 1 bar internet even when i'm standing right next to my hub. Now and again it will randomly jump up to two bars but it hasn't been on three since this started. I don't think it's the internet because all the other devices in my house including another ipad that we have get three bars all over the house.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
thanks

IPad mini keeps randomly shutting down?

My iPad mini, used for school, has recently started to turn off completely at random times. It has gotten more and more frequent. Once it turns off, it cycles through the powering on stage, goes back to black, and does it again. Anywhere from once to ten times before it returns to my lock screen. I need this for school and homework, so please help to resolve my issue! Thanks!

What job could you get if you are really good at fundraising?

My husband injured his back 12 years ago and has not had a full time job since because he is limited to what he can do. What job would he be good at if he is amazing at collecting for fundraisers?
He raised over $2,200.00 in about 20 hours going out on week nights with local discount coupon cards. Besides a sales job, how could he use these amazing skills and talent? He also helped our daughter raise $1,000 when she was in 5th grade because she wanted to win the Ipad 2 that was the prize. Thank you in advance.
