Toss the rim and buy another from a scrap yard. That rim is now dangerous.

Yes. You can replace the rim entirely. If your intention is to keep that specific rim then welding will be necessary.

It's not just fixing the holes, if the rim has been gouged badly enough to let the air out it's structure is compromised.
Replace it with an undamaged used one.
