Tried to show, but that pad is badly chipped, and it can be seen on the rotor that there is an area that isn't wearing like the rest. I'm concerned that the entire new pad won't make enough contact. Thoughts?

I never resurface rotors. I tried having done a few times many years ago and I've never once had a satisfactory result. Your results may vary, of course.

That rotor looks fine to me, BTW.

Run it until you feel it in the braking. Then replace rather than turn.
