It would be best to splint the teeth and undergo gum treatment at this point.
Next Steps
After a periodic recall visits at the 3months+3months = 6months repeat the same x-ray or even better would be individual teeth X-ray(involved teeth only) which will help decide with certainty specific treatment plan.

Don't get your front tooth extracted. You can get the root canal treatment of front tooth done. Pathology associated with that tooth will resolve with time.
Next Steps
consult a root canal specialist

You can go ahead with a bridge but not for 2 but 4 since the bone support for adjacent tooth are in a better position .go for a bridge involving 11 12 21 22 .and the area where there is bone loss get a bone graft done for faster bone formation which usually takes 6 months atleast .
Next Steps
go for metal free crowns (zicornia) so that pressure on the tooth wont be much .

You have generalised severe bone loss which suggest periodontitis which needs periodontal treatment. Periodontal treatment starts with scaling root planing. Second step will be flap surgery. At this stage it is not necessary to extract anny tooth first complete perio treatment. If necessary splinting can be done. It more important to save natural teeth as no replacement is as good as natural tooth.
Next Steps
visit periodontist
