A couple thoughts....
On the grafting, don't take specialty advice from your GP. The doctor who will be placing the implant should make that decision since that directly affects the implant placement, success and stability.
If the resorption is thru and thru at least some portion of the tooth is swiss cheese plus the associated bone loss around the area of resorption will generally not heal on its own. Given that, it's unlikely it can be removed in one piece.
This is where a CBCT scan is very helpful to decide on grafting strategy and if immediate implant placement (at same time as extraction) is a possibility.
