Andrew and Janicholson prety much said what I wanted to say. If its sentamental then keep the tree around until it seeds then get some of them and start you a new one.

One other way of supporting a split in the trunk or limbs is with eye bolts, turn buckles, and wire.

The growth on the side of the walnut sounds more like lichens. Doesnt really hurt the tree if thats what it is. Lichens are pretty common on old trees and even some young ones in shady, humid areas. Old oak trees are quite pretty with them on the trunk.

Make sure it isnt tea scale, (greyish/white insect) I dont think it is tho.

If you just want to make sure concerning the fungus you can spray up the trunk with chlorothalonil aka daconil.
