I would remove all the loose sealant in that area and uncover the screws in the trim piece that covers the seam. Make sure they are tight and the wood underneath isn't rotten. You need a mechanical junction to keep that point from opening again. You may even want to add another screw of two to keep this area tight. Then reseal with Dicor self leveling caulk.
Ditto.
Dicor self leveling sealant is what's there already.
If nothing more happened than the sealant lifting, then after it's removed, apply more.
I think AF uses butyl rubber putty under the metal strip, which seals up that area should the Dicor separate, but a thorough inspection is a good idea once you get the Dicor sealant removed.
I would remove ALL of the Dicor sealant at the corner, and apply new. Do the same at the other corner
