Answer 1

Yes you can use liquid nails, but add small finishing nails every few inches or so to make sure it holds.

Answer 2

check home depot or whatever hardware store for nail gun rentals, I think they're only $30 a day or so... also, is this a painted wood trim? if so, I've used caulk on that sort of thing before, don't know how much that'll cost you, but caulk hold stuff up, and can be scraped off with a razor blade (not easy, but not too damaging...)

Answer 3

It is much easier to use a nail gun then it is to use liquid nails or small nails and a hammer, but any of the three will work.

You can buy an electric nail gun that will work for trim for much less than $200. (See below)
