Your thinking is right. After the age of 7 years there will be mixed dentition(milk as well as permanent).

Permenant which below that carious teeth is at lowest risk.
Blacishness is due to caries. Get the restored
Nothing would happen since he is not having any pain he would get new set of teeth when he is 6-7 years of age till then brush twice daily ask him to gargle with salt water daily after meals.
His permanent teeth , incisors should erupting between 6-7 yrs.If not troubling otherwise you can leave your milk teeth.Till the permanent teeth erupts.
