Yes, you can save money on this project by buying your supplies from a secondhand store, like Goodwill or the Salvation Army.

Carve the wood into a frame. Use the leftover wood to fix the stand/re-make the stand. Glue the button on the photo frame.

Add those if you’re taking your own photos to add to the frame, for optional tools.

Absolutely, when you have professional photos taken and buy them, take them home, and then frame them.
