Yes get him on a good quality food with NO Corn or NO By products - Canidae, Wellness, Merricks - just to name a few.
Honestly, the BEST thing you can do for your little guy is get him neutered. #1 it will lower his chance of getting cancer - #2 it should solve his aggression and curb any other 'bad' habits that might arise.
Getting him a companion is a great idea - they will become best friends - but whether you get another female or male - they should ALL be spayed and neutered. You don't want to risk a pregnancy. With all the genetic defects that are being passed around by Yorkies that should not be breed, I truly hope you take that into consideration. Breeding is also high risk - ask any of the reputable breeders and they will tell you how long they researched. It's not just putting a male and female together and that's it - there's a lot involved.
Also, that won't solve your males aggression, actually he will remain aggressive, but he'll probably start to mark all the time and also hump 'lots' of things all the time.
I wish you the best and honestly, you should consider neutering, you would be doing him a tremendous act of kindness by neutering him.
