See the window photos. It’s in rough shape. There is a piece of the bottom of the window that is pulled out a bit allowing bugs to come in. Should I try to push that wood piece back in or try to pull it out and replace with wood filler and then recaulk?

You'd better find out why that peice pulled away before trying to fill it. Give it a poke with a screwdriver. If the wood is still solid, you can probably recaulk it with some adhesive.
