What are my options? Can I easily replace the whole thing? or does that involve removing door casing etc?
The door currently has the type of sweep on the bottom that is |_| shaped and goes on the bottom of the door. If I remove it, the door operates fine. Is there a kind of sweep that is decent that just screws to one face of the door so there is no bottom to it?

Depending on what door sweep you have currently, you could shave some of it off. Generally there are a few layers of vinyl/rubber or some fuzzy weather stripping that can be shaved away. If that isn't possible, you could replace it with a lower profile door sweep or modify a different one.
