Hi, I suggest that you ask your boss for advice. If you can't do that, I suggest you say 'Mr Lastname. If he prefers something different, he'll tell you.

Most definitely 'Mr Last name'.

Wait for him to invite you to use his first name.

Hi,

I was just a little more cautious because different cultures seem to have different approaches to this.
But I agree.
