No the neutral is fine how it is. You will just need to make sure there is no bonding jumper that goes from the ground bar to the neutral bar in the sub panel. You don’t need to run a ground back to the main ground. What you have to do is to have the subpanel isolated between neutral and ground so that they are not bonded there. You can drive a ground rod near your subpanel and have that as your ground for your subpanel but again making sure your subpanel is not bonded with the neutral bar.

Just try....there's tons of YouTube videos and resources out there. Study, take your time, and you can do many things around the house and save money. Obviously, there are certain projects that should be left to the experts. But the usual homeowner stuff can usually be conquered by us regular folks

Could be the sill plate. the sill plate sits on top of the foundation depending on the style. Kinda depends what style the builder did and how old it is. It’s really hard to tell without being able to look at it myself. I would still probably try to peel back some of the siding to get a better look.
