My disposal hums but will not spin — is it dead?

Usually not. That is the classic jam signature and is often cleared and reset in minutes.

What horsepower do I need?

3/4 HP handles most households well. Larger families and heavy cooking benefit from 1 HP.

Can a leaking disposal be repaired?

If the leak is at the flange or connections, yes. A leak through the housing itself means the unit needs replacing.
