After a permanent tooth is extracted, it's common for the gum tissue to appear swollen or to have a slight bump where the tooth was removed. This could be the area healing or a new tooth developing beneath the gums. In some cases, if the tooth is a wisdom tooth or a molar, it may take time for the new tooth to emerge fully. However, if you're concerned about the appearance or pain, it's best to consult a dentist for an evaluation.
The tooth that is coming in behind the mandibular tooth is not deciduous, it will be a permanent tooth. These permanent mandibular teeth should be coming in anywhere from 6-10 years of age.
Having a tooth pulled regardless of the location will hurt, most dentists and oral surgeons will prescribe Ibuprofen or Vicodin after tooth extractions. However, If it's a deciduous tooth (baby tooth) and your other canine is coming in, it would be smarter to have it pulled as to allow the permanent tooth room to come in. Otherwise your tooth could come in crooked.

No. That would just be a waste of time and money. In many cases, you wouldn't even get a root canal on a permanent tooth. You would most likely have it pulled depending on what tooth it is. Just have the baby-tooth pulled since it is going to be pulled someday, regardless.
The job of baby teeth is to reserve the place for the permanent teeth to come in. When the baby tooth does not drop off, but the permanent tooth is coming out on schedule, it could divert the permanent tooth in a different direction. If a baby tooth has not come out and the permanent tooth has yet to arrive, it could mean the permanent tooth has not developed or growth is delayed. Consult with a general or pediatric dentist to determine the situation and what course of action needs to be taken.

It depends on a number of factors. Was the baby tooth loose at the time? If so, the permanent tooth should begin erupting into the mouth within just a few days or weeks. If the baby tooth was not loose, it could take several months, depending on the state of development of the permanent tooth. After taking an x-ray of the area, a dentist could make a fairly accurate prediction of how long the permanent tooth will take to grow in. If the baby tooth was lost prematurely, a space maintainer might need to be placed to prevent future orthodontic or occlusion problems. Check with a dentist.
My kid had similar situation. He had 2 permanent teeth like that. Took him to the dentist and he extracted the one that was coming in the gum.
