Both aluminum and nonstick cookwares are safe for cooking use. However, aluminum can withstand more heat that nonstick cookware can. The non-stick part of a cookware will melt off at a certain temperature.
Aluminum is a cheap metal that has excellent thermal conductivity and does not corrode easily. These traits make it good for use in cookware.
Discolored aluminum cookware is generally safe to use, as the discoloration is usually just a cosmetic issue and does not affect the safety of the cookware. However, if the cookware is heavily discolored or shows signs of damage, it may be best to replace it to ensure food safety.

No.
This type of cookware is made of aluminum which is a reactive and soft metal. During cooking, the aluminum can leech to the food being prepared.
Aluminum is a good conductor of heat. It has high thermal conductivity, meaning it can transfer heat quickly and efficiently. This is why aluminum is commonly used in cookware and heat sinks.
