You've got 'bird baths', standing water that allows mildew to grow. Pour a little liquid chlorine on the spots and broom it around. That will kill the mildew for the time being.

Slant the hole toward traffic or sitting areas and it will be almost invisible. See similar questions...

Yes, there are many products out there to provide excellent camouflage of vitiligo spots. Some people prefer traditional waterproof makeup, designed to match every skin tone, and which can be applied to the spots only. Though they are waterproof, they are not always friction proof, and some men will not wear them. These types of covers are available in every skin tone, from very fair to dark black.

We have great success with most spots. A spot is something foreign on the carpet or upholstery that can be removed. A stain is something remaining after we have exhausted all spot removal possibilities. It's impossible to predict the outcome prior to cleaning, so we cannot guarantee total stain removal. However, we pride ourselves in the level of successful spot removal outcomes. See similar questions...
