Without being able to "see" the whole thing in person, a few questions. How does the trailer track now? Unusual tire wear?

Are there other bent parts that are clearly damaged? From the photos, if I'm reading them correctly, the cracks in the structure occur at a location of minimal stress. Hummmmmmmm.
I'd hate to see you "straighten everything out" only to find that the trailer is now out of alignment and pulls sharply. IMO, a closer look is in order before cutting/bending/welding anything.
