Your skimmer door is called a weir. A weir is a pivoting flap, door or dam in a skimmer that keeps bugs and leaves from re-entering a pool or spa by collecting the debris in a basket while letting water recycle through the filter system.
The door being open.
When you open a door, you exert a force in the direction of the door's motion. This force creates torque, which causes the door to rotate around its hinges. Work is done when this force causes the door to move against resistance, such as friction between the door and the door frame.

Drain the pool until the water level reaches two inches below the skimmer faceplate , remove the face plate using a screwdriver , remove the faceplate and skimmer , then replace the gasket and attach the skimmer and then the faceplate
If you have a dedicated suction for the vacuum hose (illegal in Australia) then you close the skimmer to increase suction.

Yes possibly In reality, the skimmer will not cause a leak. What causes leaks are people who do not connect or glue the fittings to the skimmer properly. Or ground movement like earthquakes. k

A stuck wier door. That's the the flapper in the skimmer. Or in inground pools you will see twooutlets in the bottom of the skimmer, sometimes one of these outlets are not hooked up to a pipe,so a plug is put in there.If you took out that plug with no line hooked up,water will just dump into the ground.
Too much iron in the water
No, a door knob's motion is rotational rather than linear. Turning the knob in a circular motion causes the latch or bolt on the door to retract or extend, allowing the door to open or close.
