Go to Menard's, Lowe's, HD, etc. Ask for epoxy putty. Its a self contained, two part gray material with an inner core. Just break off as much as you need, mix it in your fingers and rub it into the leak. I've used this stuff on active steam pipes and it sealed. I guarantee this will work on drain pipes.

JB weld is a good product. I've used it for many things and pushed its limits. As long as theres not too much pressure it works well. Since drainage isnt high pressure JB weld will work good, as long as you clean the area where you're gonna apply it real good. You might want to scuff it up with a piece of sand paper too before you apply the JB. That will help it stick better.

there are also sleeve and clamps that can eliminate the joint. i had a cast iron vent pipe that was in the way of my bath remodel, the collar was in the way, and i did this to eliminate it. just cut the pipe collar out and install the kit. good luck.

You may want to consider taking it apart and putting in new pieces as leaking sewage can be very bad for your health .
( I don't think you can weld cast iron & for sure , Not pvc)

Yes. Because a drain is not under pressure.
