It is not absolutely necessary to use Russian-owned planes for civilian aviation. Foreign airlines (Chinese, Indian, etc...) can take over the routes.

It is only necessarily for regional flights.

Maintenance needs to be done on Russian airports in any case. That's significantly more expensive now in the best case, impossible in the worst.

So far there have been no such sanctions, and there doesn't seem to be any plans for it. Foreign airlines are allowed to order parts into Russia for their own use just fine.

In the worst case, the airlines will have to transport the parts to Russia themselves, which is not much more costly than getting Boeing to do it.
