Verification regarding Id's on home computer
If you can upload a saved photo. Take a photo on your phone and use messenger to send it to yourself. Then you can open facebook on your computer and copy or save the photo on your computer. As mentioned I get better photos taking them outside. Indoors always seem to get shadows from blocking the lighting.

Immigration coming to home to confirm I live here.
I had immigration come to my house once in the last decade, about 6 years ago. They did not go in the house. They didn't want anything 'extra'. They just wanted to look at my passport and to take a photo of me standing by the mail box showing the address. They were there maybe 15 minutes.

Open bank account in Thailand from overseas ?
You could open an account in your country with a debit card. Mail the debit card to him to withdraw money from an ATM. Don't activate the card until you know he has received it. If you can find a bank that refunds fees even better. Make sure he does not accept the exchange rate the ATM will offer. That is far more expensive than any fees.
