We are at the fight against the Black Puddings, and the black pudding managed to grab the wizard. So first - in the next round it makes a grapple check and apply the slam damage and the constrict damage?
Then, if he goes unconscious, will the black pudding squeeze him to death, or drop him?
Basically, do I kill him off or not?

It has no intelligence. It is hungry. It will not drop him. It will kill him.
The constrict damage is inflicted as soon as it wins the grapple. Its turn goes slam, grab, and if successful, constrict. Lather, rinse, repeat. When he stops struggling it will leave to digest him. It will not fight if it can leave. It's hungry, not suicidal.
