it looks like the whole tower is only about as big around as a regular skyscraper

what happens when a plane flies into it?

I guess the bottom few hundred/thousand feet of the skyscraper falls off, so they tie off the break, spool it out a bit and build some replacement skyscraper at the asteroid? Same way they construct it in the first place?

This is true, but I have a strong suspicion he's going to be working with extremely bad material.
