Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I understand your emotions. Oedipus complex is a desire for sexual involvement with the parent of the opposite sex and a concomitant sense of rivalry with the parent of the same sex; a crucial stage in the normal developmental process. If this is what you suspect of, your friend is in the process of development and is normal upto an extent. Your friend should understand himself and the society of his own. If it crossess the limits, he needs therapeutic intervention. Start with psychological counseling.
