Selling damaged units and replacing them
I have a question about selling offensive units. Is it worthwhile to sell them one by one and replace them with the same units and upgrade them to the same level? I always noticed that when I do this,...

It is standard practice on FA worlds and really any non-morale world. It's used aggressively early on, and slowly goes away after switching to a new main and when the Command Center has been leveled to gain all army points.
Generally, you will keep 4-5 army units very high level. I call these takedown units. The rest remains flexible which helps to tailor each run on a Forgotten base to maximize damage.
I generally stop buying and selling the majority of my units when I research cobra + shields and when I level my Command Center to get all army points. Everyone is different though.
And yes, it costs crystal and power. Each time you buy and sell it's a 10% reduction. It is very helpful to have super high power production. Shooting this way creates more base kills and I have never lacked crystal. Most people trying this technique out usually run out of power which frustrates things. So, always have a lot of power production on hand.
In terms of levels, you can get away with level 7-8 units until level 23-24. After that, I switch to a hybrid approach. I'll sometimes level units to level 9-10 or a little higher. Especially if it's an attack that I'll use multiple times in a row. Then I'll sell the units necessary to make a better attack. I'll start using the RT I have saved up a bit over the first few days. Generally, the RT buffer lasts me until I switch to my main base which I usually have saved 5-7 days of RT in.
This is my way of buying and selling. It may not be the best way. I hope more players chime in.
