  • I am thinking the black part is not suppose to be there. Replacing the window glass is the cheapest repair compared to replacing the whole window.

    the cost is determined by the local market in your area ... call several glass shops

    I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at here. What's the black stuff? Why does your window look melted? Please post a closer photo from another angle.

That looks like a sealed double glazed unit. Contact your local glazing company, and they will be able to make a new one up of the same width, height and thickness. Swapping them out isn't that difficult, but probably best left to the professionals. It usually involves prying out the beading around the edges of the glass.
