Default Electrical question--help !

Light switch in bathroom started making "crackling" sound when turned on & off. No sparks or such. Then, after a few weeks of this, nothing, no lights in the bath. But. also lights in hall outside bathroom now does not turn on.

. Can a switch that goes out with broken wires (bathroom) also cause hall light not to work ?
. Checked the breaker, switch does not appear to have changed any; did not "trigger".

. Is this an electrician job, or just call a handyman to put in new switch in the bathroom ?

. If an electrician job, recommendations ? Have used Pike's for many years but they kept getting more and more expensive and in some cases did not even fix the problem ! (yard light only worked a few days and then back to no light after paying for some parts and labor) So would like reasonable and knowledgeable person if anyone knows one ???

. If a new switch would solve it, that much we can do.
