You usually need a passport number to travel on an international flight. You don't need to use the same passport when you travel as you did when you book - though it does need to be in the same name as the ticket when you check in. You are not the first person to renew a passport between booking and travel.
Yes, you can book a flight with an expired passport, but only because a passport isn't actually required to book a flight, regardless of whether it's valid or invalid.
No, you don't. You can buy the ticket. You will need to include the passport details as soon as they are available, and apply for ESTA in good time if that is applicable. But as long as everything is in order before you fly, it's fine to book the tickets now and provide passport details later.
You'll need a government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver's license, passport) and your ticket or e-ticket. For the smoothest check in, bring your ID and your confirmation email we sent you after you booked your plans. You can check in and get your boarding pass at the airline ticket counter.

- Proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a birth or naturalization certificate)
- Government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license or military ID)
- Color passport photo.
- Fee payment (check or money order)
It says passport details required but does not specify if at booking or check in. You don't need to provide passport details until you check in and print off your boarding pass which you can't do until a couple of weeks before you fly.
Probably the most common mistake people make is misspelling their name, or entering the wrong passport number. Even a small spelling mistake could prevent you from flying since the name you enter in your booking has to match your passport number.
When you sit down to make the big ticket purchase, don't worry if you don't have your passport on hand.
