Diet will help bring out the orange as the fish grows. Foods like krill and high quality cichlid pellets will help. Also clean water and plenty of space helps.
Depends. Likely he'll get more orange if fed a varied diet and kept well. 
Some don't get much more, depends what's in their genetics. But it's most likely he will color up.

All tiger oscars I have purchased as babies will fade from when bought in the store, then color up when they reach around 6-7"
