It is hard to tell from your example whether he is prolonging or repeating the first sounds in words, and how often he does this. I know that others will respond to your first question, so I will respond to your last question: whether being bilingual has any effect on a child's fluency. As far as we can tell, it does not. Being bilingual is not "dangerous" for children's speech and language development.
