Hi.... I understand your concern. By what you say I feel that your son has got seizure disorder. Yiur doctors or treating him the right way.
Coming to your queries -
1. Always keep with him midazolam nasal spray and if he has got an attack give three sprays in each of his nostrils. That will stop the attack immediately.
2. During the attacks keep him turned to one of the sides so that he will not aspirate if he vomits.
3. Seizure disorder may run in families. So it may or may not get transmitted to his children. But there is no restriction for marriage.
