Suppose there is a hard drive with a partition fully protected by TrueCrypt, if bad sectors or the like appear on this hard drive, will I be able to access the data or not?

Yes, if the data does not fly on the first sector, where there is a data header. If the header flies away, then no, if there is no recovery disk.

In theory, you can. After all, TrueCrypt keeps redundant information about the encrypted. Of course, there are a certain number of sectors that can be restored, if too many, then alas ...
