Buy a USB OTG cable > connect a mouse > restart the phone > you should be able to use the mouse as your finger, that's assuming that the screen it's not cracked, only the digitizer/touchscreen.

Double check the number with the box or

settings > about phone > status > IMEI information

What I would do is to transfer everything to an SD card and then you can connect the phone to a computer or just connect the SD card with an adapter.

My bad, I don't think that there's any other way to backup the pictures. If you are going to repair the phone then you could replace the screen and then nothing should be deleted, but it will void the warranty and it might not be waterproof anymore; but if you send it somewhere everything will be deleted.
