Extract or Crown 1st Molar: What Options Available? (photo)

kenc81
My 1st lower left molar is fractured & has RCT. The tooth is being held by filling which is lower than the gumline. I experience intermittent gum pains that eventually pass. I have a wisdom tooth on the same lower left side that has not erupted. Q1) If I extract the tooth: 1-Will the 2nd molar will drift forwards? 2-Can the wisdom tooth will erupt? 3-Is it guaranteed that the opposing upper left molar will supra-erupt? If i don't extract the tooth what other options are available?
