RTN usually just goes too fast to stop, typically gone within the day. STN sometimes just takes correcting whats wrong and you may see a turn around. The problem is acro's go downhill much faster than they recover. So the difficulty is that you may be way behind the curve when you finally discover the necrosis.
A colony with a small area of "no tissue" may be the result of a sting from a neighbor rather than STN. But if you are convinced it is RTN/STN then you really must cut the affected piece off by a relatively wide margin to insure that no diseased part remains on the rest of the colony.

I have never had much luck with fragging. Most of my rtn has happened overnight and by morning when I check it the coral is gone. I have caught my one early enough and applied some glue over the base and any area showing rtn. So far it is not spreading and coral seems to be recovering.

Applying super glue covering the affected area seems to give it a better change of surviving.

Not so far! I do not know what happened but STN has stopped, pretty much confirmed it was STN. I started GFO a few days ago so that may have had something to do with it, but the rest of my SPS was fine so I was not sure if that was it, but anyways it's gone.
