He doesn't see quirks - he sees the energy of life, the same thing his quirk is fueled by, which he calls vitality and privately thinks of as the soul. That energy is influenced by people's quirks, but not clearly enough for him to make very accurate guesses about what a quirk does without other information. Like, Uraraka's soul would probably be pulling upwards more than most peoples. Does that mean she has a flight quirk, or an antigravity quirk, or something else entirely? Aizawa's soul would be dim and slow. Does that mean that his quirk is weak? No - it means that he's tired.
But yes, the upperclassman mentioned is Mirio with One For All. Mirio isn't planned to play a huge role in the story (and neither is All Might), but I want to be hinting at what happened with Izuku never getting One For All - specifically, that All Might ended up meeting Nighteye and getting his recommendation of Mirio, who has by this point inherited One For All.
I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I'm having fun writing it, and it's actually giving me more motivation for my original story as well. I doubt I'll continue to update every day, but I'll try to keep it at least semi-often.
