Submitting the amendment will not fix the dependent issue quickly. The IRS would not remove the dependent until the amendment was processed.
You don't have to file an extension unless you want to e-file your return, but you will likely want to file an extension to give the IRS time to process the amendment. You can file your taxes with your dependent but you will need to print and mail them in. Even then there's a chance that there would be a delay with your mailed-in return if it was processed before his amended return.
