Yes you can buy a new remote:

As for your phone not being able to "See" the chromecast, reboot the phone, the chromecast, and your router, just to ensure everythings on a fresh network together.

There is a lot to unpack here.
First, the batteries. The remote does more than a typical IR remote (it also does Bluetooth) so GOOD batteries are a must. Once I changed to a better brand it helped a lot.
A replacement remote. Yes, you can order a new one (depending on your country)
Replacement Remote from the Google Store
Also, depending on your phone, there is now a widget you can use instead of your remote (to get you by for now)
Control your TV with your phone
Finally, your apps not working with your Chromecast. Hmm, try this troubleshooter
