Answer 2
You can repair an anvil, just have the almost broken one fall in lazy chunks, then it will end up as a repaired anvil. This is a glitch though.
One way to do this is to set up a redstone line that is longer that your render distance, such that the end of the redstone line should be barely visible (if at all) if you stand at one end, and thus will be loaded as a redstone-only (lazy) chunk. Remember to extend the redstone signal with repeaters where necessary, and make sure the end of the redstone line is not in spawn chunks.
Power the redstone line from one end, then place a piston facing sideways on the other. Place the broken anvil on the extended piston arm, then travel to the control end of the redstone line and depower the redstone line. The piston should retract in lazy chunks and thus the anvil should fall in lazy chunks and be repaired.
Answer 3
You cannot repair an anvil, so you have to make another one every time one anvil breaks.
Answer 4
It is impossible to repair an anvil in the newest versions of Minecraft. You will need to make another one like in the picture below. The amount of time an anvil will last varies but on average it will be 25 uses.
