You need 4/0 service wire. That gray outer jacket will get rough looking but the insulation on the wires can still be okay, might pay to have it checked by a sparky.

You have to do a load calculation on the house and size accordingly. Or you can over size by measuring the exsisting cable (not housing) and buy a size larger. Be sure to buy appropriate type wire. (SE, USE, ETC.)

Each leg should have 110 volts running through it. I am not sure how many amps it would be.
Why do you have two electric meters? I have two legs that run from my meter to the panel.

As an inspector. Get with the local jurisdiction. The inspector that gives the up or down will be the horses mouth you want the information from, I see a lot of wrong internet information that causes people to pay twice. Different jurisdictions have some different rules, some are wildly different above and beyond the NEC, NESC, etc.
