There really in no way to tell you but by making a nice large starter you will know. It's likely some of the yeast cells have perished but I would bet you may be able to revive the good ones with a starter.

Yep. The best thing to do is to make a healthy starter. There are likely some viable cells in there, you just have to make them multiply.
