Rct will not make your tooth hollow...filling will be done inside the canal as well from where the infected tissue is removed. So dont worry about that and cap, if good material is choosen and a proper shade selection is done, they will blend with rest of your teeth and will not seem artificial at all.
If your next 2 teeth are symptomatic(pain or obivous decay), and the doctor has taken a xray and shown and explained that root canal is needed...you can go ahead with the explained treatment plan.
