Replacing pool table felt is very definitely a matter of "you get what you pay for". The price of pool table cloth can range from $90 to $400. The labor price to re-surface and cover the play area and the rails is typically in the $250-$300 range. So, the total price will be $350 to $700 depending upon the size, the quality of the cloth, and the experience of the installer.
Yes. Like everything else in this world, pool table felt is finite. Eventually after years of having wooden cues grinding against them causing friction, the felt will wear down and eventually rip. A professional can replace the felt on a pool table.
No. Pool table felt is a specialized felt designed specifically for pool tables. There are many variations of table felt and each will react differently with the balls, and each has a differnt lifespan on the table. Use of felt not designed for pool table use will result in poor play at best, and will quickly be destroyed at worst.
Friction. The movement of the rolling pool balls does no damage to the pool felt. However, the pool balls accumulate pool chalk that is very abrasive. The pool chalk accumulated on the balls and dropping on to the felt both result in tearing of the felt fibers as balls are struck or slide on the table. Occasionally balls bounce or are jumped on the table, resulting in even more damage. Damaged felt is a part of playing pool.

Most likely the felt is permanently damaged. Go to your local billiards pro shop, or online, and purchase pool table cleaner. If the marks are superficial, a proper cleaning may get rid of them. However, pool table felt is not woven like the fabric used in clothing and can be damaged easily - how easily depends upon the brand and type of felt.

Yes, there is no difference between the Mizerak pool table and other slate pool tables. It is expected to get new felt due to normal wear.
Some sporting good shops like Big 5 may offer good deals on new pool table lights or they may also sell parts to replace the broken pool table light.
The rails should never be changed on a pool table as each is marked and perfectly squared at the factory for its position on the pool table it was made for. However, the rails can be removed to replace the rubber and to re-felt. It is important that each rail be re-installed in the same location that it was removed from. The rails are secured with large screws or bolts and can be removed easily.
Could cost anywhere between $150 -$850 depending on the table. I contacted DMAOnline and they managed to send me felt which was pretty good quality. They don't sell it on their website but managed to help me out with my pool table 😁
