you need to re-set the toe, you can learn to do it yourself. You don't need a full alignment but they will likely charge you for a full alignment even though it will take about 2 minutes to correct.
If you track the car, those boots melt. You should wrap both the tie rod boots and lower control arm boots front and rear with some sort of thermal barrier

yes, there aren't any boots that fit them properly. If they aren't loose (ie lift the car and "jiggle" the wheel) they aren't going to fail immedialtly, but you are losing grease and letting contaminants in.
I wouldn't look for an upgrade, only option is bump-steer kits and they is another can of worms

Or, get a 4-wheel alignment done.
