Bacteria causes food to rot and not the metals in the spoon. I think it matters what food you eat with it though, and if you sterilized the spoon or just washed it in hot water. Never leave something known to be inside the mouth in a soup or food set for storage as bacterias only need time to overwhelm the food.

That depends on the pan. If the pan is covered with a non-stick coating such as Teflon, then scratches caused by a metal utensil can degrade - and even ruin - the non-stick finish. Of course, even wooden or plastic tools can damage the finish if you are not careful.

If the pan is steel or cast iron, then a metal utensil will not damage it.
