Joints are the reason why we only opt either Stainless or premium solid surface tops, sir. Stainless back-splashes are bent & joints, fully welded. Premium solid surface tops like DuPont's Corian would have all joints done monolithically in the same material, no sealants. Yes, lotsa copies around, but some warp w/ heat, stain w/ liquid spills & crack on corner joints. We get what we pay for.
In your case, the faucet base may just need tightening + a bead of polyurethane seal seating won't hurt. I'd always discourage the temptation of getting pull-out kitchen faucet heads. A good Hans Grohe or Kohler Gooseneck will last you a long while. Sealant on your separated back-splash joint will be temporary fix. The practice prior to sticking non-monolithic vertical back-splash is to polyurethane seal the top-wall joint 1st. You might have to remove & redo that strip properly.
Finally, sink modules are best done w/ waterproof boards, 18mm PVC or FiCem are ideal options that can stand water abuse.
Always remember, any kitchen is just as good as its top & undermount sink. Once these trouble you, a proper redo is a must to keep it functioning properly.
Hope you'll sort it out sooner than later, sir.
A blessed '22, y'all! Stay grateful![emoji120]
