Currently renovating the first room in the house and when we removed a trim, it turned out that a piece of plasterboard was a bit loose and with molly it came off. It will be visible over the trim, so how is this best repaired?
Glue the piece back with regular wood glue, then putty. Husfix works too (available in small packages), but it becomes hard, so smooth it nicely (difficult to sand).
Glue and filler sound like a good plan.
Is it best to fill a gap like this between the wall and ceiling? (I was thinking of putting latex caulk between the wall and ceiling and not having a trim in the ceiling)

Coarse filler in that case. Regular wall filler fills poorly and dries slowly in thick layers. It's a bit tricky in that corner since you don't want to smudge the ceiling surface. I would have used husfix or gypsum to fill in and then fine filler. But there's a big risk of smearing on the ceiling. Maybe masking tape?
Glued and it holds well, I have bought house fix that I will use where needed (it's not such a big gap on the entire wall). Towards the window in the room, it's the opposite where the ceiling doesn't completely meet the wall; should I use house fix there too?
Another question, should you remove the "fluff" on the wall where you scraped wallpaper with water/wallpaper remover or is it enough to sand, or should you leave it as it is? And what do you do when there is old filler like here, sand it?

Hus fix works. Just smooth it out nicely. Hard to sand. All loose fluff must be removed. Otherwise, it will peel off when you apply glue. Try moistening with a damp sponge. Many rent a steam machine. Should work well. I usually paint with some cheap ceiling or wall paint. There are different special paints for this, but they are expensive. After painting, you can see immediately if/where it peels. Sand/putty there, then apply a bit more paint. If you want to be extra cautious, apply renovation wallpaper once you have stabilized the surface with paint. Then you have a completely stable and neutral surface to start from. Renovation wallpaper is expensive, but then you avoid problems forever.
In the first picture it looks like VP pipes in the wall? Be extra careful if you're going to nail/screw the molding there.
The very first is indeed pipes for the radiator, district heating, the molding will of course be nailed higher up when we get that far. We're taking it slowly but surely.
