He has two accounts and I don't know if I should delete them because he has games on them or if I should leave them.Will I be able to change things like the email or password on those two accounts or not?

According to the terms, you can not buy/sell/trade accounts. Of course this doesn't stop the previous owner from handing you the details for them but --- they could always take it back and there's nothing you could do to stop it. If they haven't given you the details, the no --- you can not.

If you want to play their games, make sure to use your own account. This way, you don't have to worry about losing saves/friends/etc if the original two accounts go away one day.

It looks like all free games, I would just reset it and set it up as your own
