You need to see an eye MD but that does not look at all like a melanoma much more likely a diffuse "freckle" of the eye. These are common in brown eyes and dark complexions.

No it does not look at all like anything to worry about.  If you are a black or deeply pigmented skin these are very common and almost never a problem.  More of a problem with pale skin and blue/gray/green eyes.

Go ahead and get your traveling and settling in done then look up an ophthalmologist. It is NOT scarry looking at all.
