No, that is completely normal. It may not separate until after puberty, usually it's an average of 10 years.

No, he does not need a circumcision. He is completely normal for his age. The average age of first foreskin retraction is 10.4 years. He may be earlier or later. The first person to retract the child's foreskin should be the child himself.
The general rule is "Only clean what is seen." Just wash the outside like washing a finger. It is not necessary to wash inside. Urine, when it exits the penis, is a sterile liquid that does a nice job of keep the foreskin cleaned out.
Washing under the foreskin is not necessary until after puberty.
