if a condom breaks, your chances of getting pregnant are the same that they would be, if you hadn't used one at all. In other words, maybe 7%. However, it would be slightly lower if you used spermacide; many condoms do have lubricant with nonoxynol-9, which will lower your risks considerably even if it breaks. FYI, if you're young, these are a little more expensive, but definitely worth it, because parenting is hard, hard work....DON'T TAKE CHANCES!
Also, I don't understand your other question, because if you cut a condom, wouldn't it be, effectively, broken? Otherwise, they don't just break on their own. They break because they get overheated, overstretched, and lose their elasticity.
