To reduce swelling.
Reduce pain, swelling, or temperature
I recommend seeing a doctor to get an evaluation and potential X-ray to determine the severity of the injury. In the meantime, rest, elevate the foot, and apply ice to reduce swelling. Avoid putting weight on the injured toe and consider taping it to the neighboring toe for support.
No. It will reduce swelling only. Pressure will stop bleeding.

When you are done yelling and cursing, replace any torn skin back into it's original position. If you have any antibiotic ointment or creams, apply it and bandage it with a bandaid or bandage. If you think the toe may be broken (as with many toes V.S. furniture) seek medical advice for an x-ray and confirmation. Remember that flip-flops and shoes or even house shoes could have avoided this problem in the first place.
