Being you are inexperience at this. just go try the with putty filler first.
Replacing a tile , you probably would damage more stuff.

Putty don't last as they become soft when come in contact with water

You can use acrylic sealant, they come with either transparent or white

They need some time to dry and cure though

Use a small knife to tilt the tile outward and then remove slowly.

Remove old cement on wall using hammer and chisel. If there are some on the tiles, just leave it there, otherwise you may crack if further trying to remove it.

Buy the cement for tiles at hardware shop. Loose 1kg pack is RM2. You need few packs

Mixed with water until is paste form.

Spray the affect area with some water to make it moist ...not too much water, otherwise the cement paste will not stick to the wall

Plaster the cement paste on the affected wall and a thin layer on the tles.

Put the tile back on the wall and use a wooden hammer holder to gently level the tile.

Clean the tiles with a wet cloth for any excess cement.

Use white powder filler paste to cover the crack line.

Fill the cement paste till the thickness of the tile and when you place it back, it sit almost evenly to the unbroken tile. Then use the wooden hammer holder to gently even it.
