In my opinion yes, it puts a fatty coating over your lips to protect while your body repairs itself.

Of varying usefulness, yes.
If they melt too much, or the resulting melt is too thin, like straight coconut oil, they won’t stay in place long enough to do much.
The best fats for balms are solid or semi-solid at human skin temp, often blends of wax and whatever lipid. Or petroleum jelly. I’m not sure how that’s classified…

You think if I buy a good lip balm then get risky of the pesky lip balm and replace it with lanolin, it can still work in that format?

Coconut oil is the one that was used lot for moisturizer in India. Still people is villages and poor use coconut oil.
