Is it OK to wash non-stick cookware in dishwasher?
Caps vs Non-stick Pans In comparison, non-stick pans shouldn't be cleaned in the dishwasher. Salt, detergent together with the water pressure damage the coating and take the 'non' out of your non-stick pans.Is there danger to non-stick cookware?
Generally speaking, Teflon is a safe and stable compound. However, at temperatures above 500\xb0F (260\xb0C), Teflon coatings on nonstick cookware start to break down, releasing toxic chemicals into the air ( 13 ). Inhaling these fumes may lead to polymer fume fever, also known as the Teflon flu.Sabrina Claudio - I Don't (Official Audio)

Answer 2
It already looks like the coating has worn off significantly. Without making any health claims (as I don't know what the impact of ingesting particles of T-fal coating), I don't think the dishwasher is going to do more damage, or release any more coating, than your use of inappropriate non-stick utensils already has. ...maybe, just time for a new pot.
Answer 3
Most non-stick can survive dishwashers anyway. If it's already scratched the scratches might get bigger but not necessarily. Depending on the metal underneath, there's a chance of it starting to flake off. Once that happens, it's pretty much gone.
The downside of the coating coming off is that food sticks worse than it would to a pan that was bare metal to start with. This may have something to do with intermediate surface treatments, and isn't a problem if you're using it for just boiling things in water.
