I brewed this batch on Saturday night, used a blow off tube. I saw no signs of bubbling over the next two days and none as of yet. I have never had this issue before. It is a 5g batch, citra IPA 1.070 OG, I used one smack pack of American Ale II 1272. It was fully bloated when I pitched and I always pitch and aerate the same way with no issues. I took a picture, it appears to be fermenting, I am correct here? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks for feedback, lid seems tight, I do have two, is it worth changing. I plan on dry hopping for a week, after approx. 2 weeks in primary.
 
I would leave it until it reaches FG and then dry hop in secondary as you planned
 
Changing the lid shouldn't hurt but the heavy fermenting should be close to done and the co2 will protect it even with a small leak in the lid or grommet at least that's my understanding
Just snap the lid back on or replace with other and let the yeast do what they do
