No. But all that ctxtools did was fetching a new zip and unzipping
files into /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local. If you didn't place anything
else there, you may simply delete all the contents from that directory
and run
[sudo] mktexlsr (just to make sure that TeX won't think the files
are still there)
texexec --make --all (to remake the format)

Yes. And I'm not sure if fixing it makes sense (it does in some
aspects, but I would not dare asking for it - Gerben's updater works
just fine).
In general it's better to use gwTeX's updater. It's always up-to-date.
And make sure to use the TeXLive-based one. I never tried the MacTeX -
it might work even better, but I have no experince with it.
ctxtools --update is not necessary the best option for MikTeX and
gwTeX (since you ignore/neglect the system's book-keeping about
existing files and packages), but works perfectly wih standalone
ConTeXt.
