It looks like excessive amount of solder. Can you wipe it off or is it hard and you cannot remove it? If so than it’s solder and you don’t have to worry about. You can try with a wire brush or sand it off.

Neither. It's flux/oxide from the original brazing/welding.

Ugly for sure, but completely normal.
