From these photos I cannot say for sure if he needs stitches, he would have to go to an urgent care/ER for proper evaluation. If he is unsure of the last time he received a tetanus shot I would definitely go in.
Yes.
From the pics you sent, it looks like the wound will need to be closed.
Sutures not required Will heal fine on its own
