Underflow would threaten the main damn structure, right?

In this case, it would threaten the aux/emergency Weir and not the main dam. Which is still a very bad thing, because while the dam would survive, losing the weir would result in a washout of a good amount of ground that would bring a lot of water down at one time.

I don't think that the water dribbling out of the 2 foot pipe is necessarily a bad thing. The area has had a lot of rain and the ground is saturated. This could easily be just excess water that has soaked into the area soil. Depends on where the drain goes.
