These are a pain. There's a type of 2 headed screw that you can put through the door but it looks like the lock body is too big to allow that. You can fill the original holes with matchsticks (glued in for extra stability). Sometimes that's enough. You really need to work out the spindle issues though and get the lock working properly. Spindles can be slightly different sizes.

If there's a similar handle on the other side, search for- through bolt m4 handle. Then bolt the two handles to each other.
Edit.
As ^ Airhead spotted, your lock case may not have suitable holes. Lots of newer lock bodies have holes through the case, either side of the spindle for through bolts. -
This is what I did in similar situations

Anu suggestions for how I can repair this door for my parents enough for the door knob to be fixed to it?
The screws have been screwed back in many times and now just fall out. Rotating the handle 45° finds the old work out holes. The handles don't attach to the spindle at all so all force from opening or closing the door is on the knob. Can I fill the wood with something that I can then screw into?
