There are dark spots on the heating element, is that a problem?

No, this has no effect on the ability to toast bread and does not indicate damage to the toaster.

If I use my toaster more than once at a time, the bread will burn faster. Why is that?

Most toasters work with a heating element. When the toaster is used for a first time, it needs heat up from room temperature. When directly after that more bread is toasted, the heating element is already hot and the bread is toasted faster.
