Yes : The gum in this area is evidently very inflamed and swollen so it is now covering the wisdom tooth. This is called a pericoronitis and removal should be done. After removal the tissues will eventually go back to normal.

Yes: Wisdom teeth removal can be performed whether they are visible in your mouth or not. Continue taking any meds prescribed until and beyond your appointment as recommended by your treating dentist.
