1. If I were to change the bald tire, would I need to change the passenger side, front tire as well? There is still tread left on that one (About 40%)
2. Should I consider changing to a non-run flat tire?
3. What tire(s) would you recommend?
Thanks in advanced for any input!

1 - you wouldn't need to change the front passenger tire, but if it were me I definitely would. I like to keep all my tires the same brand/model with same tread life remaining. Not to mention, you'll always be buying tires if they're all mis-matched with different tread amounts left.
2 - personal preference on run flats. Most people here seem to go away from them once the originals wear out. My X5 has them but once they wear out I'll be going a different route.
3 - personal preference once again. The Conti DWS seem to be a popular choice around here.
