Your resident PPOT board certified periodontist here again...
Best option is to extract the tooth.
Root canal may work if resorption is within the tooth and has not broken thru the external surface then maybe RCT will work but it's usually a heroic Crap shoot. You spend $2500 for RCT and a crown then two years later end up with extraction and implant anyhow. Often it's penny wise and dollar foolish to try to save it as you are delaying the inevitable.
At 54 you are way too young to just leave it an open space. Many reasons for this.
Yes it should be grafted at time of extraction.
Can you post the Xrays? Did you get a CT scan taken?
