it's not very hard to replace balljoints, if you have a tool to press them out. It's better to do both sides at once. Lower balljoints are to worn out faster than upper ones usually, but i think it's better to replace them all if possible. Also check tie rod ends - there must not be any free play.

Yes, assuming they are the same age you would want to change them all. They can't be much better than the bad one.
