What happens when a file can't be copied?

Let's say that we have a file on the source, and it is newer than the file with the same name on the target. If an error occurred during the copy operation, and the file could not be copied from the source to the destination, will the old copy remain in the destination or will the file simply be missing?

This depends on the used/configured Copy Method and Data Protection option. The destination file will be deleted and lost if you use the Copy Method C and the Data Protection option "Permanently delete items".

Will it be possible to add an option to "keep old file if new one can't be copied"?

If I turn the "data protection" option on, will the old version of a file be saved (in the backup folder) even if there was an error copying over the new one?

Yes.
