Charring anything usually causes the production of a few carcinogens, so yes it does cause cancer, but I doubt it will have a significant effect unless you're eating a massive amount of them.

I would think it would be better for the marshmellow to be a light brown instead of a charred mass, but I don't have any source behind this lol.

I have no idea, try trial and error.

Marshmellows are made of corn syrup, sugar, and gelatin with vanilla flavouring.
