Now I would like to know if there will be any restrictions when he has claws instead of hands. Will he be capapble to use a bow or not? Will he be able to use the follwoing skills: open lock, disable device, or any other dexterity based skills thank you for your answers

A bit awkward, especially if you want to make a claw attack. Magical ones will conform to your hands and allow you to make claw attacks with them but nonmagical mittens and mundane gloves and such will get torns up a bit. The claws may make bar patrons a bit nervous around you but really, the only disadvantages of having claws are minor roleplaying inconveniences that are often fun to work out in character. If there was a dowside, it would say it in the creature's entry.
