Heat and combustion by products. Looks on par to me.

Lap them in, check the contact and get some better quality stem seals.

Looks like rust! Has this engine been sitting? Looks like it has by trail the oil from the valve stem.

Those look fine, in my humble opinion. They look nothing like the bad ones I've seen over the years.
