Is it actually possible for armies to reduce civilian casualties? Considering how effective weapons are (both missiles and chemical) and how dense civilian areas are, how do armies try to mitigate those casualties? What is the difference between an action that is considered a part of war or a war crime?

Yes. A great example of this was a few weeks ago. Israel killed the political leader of Hamas while he was in Iran. If you look at the pictures the only thing destroyed is the apartment he was in and the rest of the building is intact. No civilians wounded or killed. However these weapons are very expensive so armies use cheap less accurate weapons that have a larger blast radius.
