When to call go around exactly?

Just something I want to be completely sure of.
I'll write down in my own words what the company requires, and then ask some questions.

Company approach requirements, following should be achieved at or before the altitudes stated:

Landing Configuration by 1,500ft AAL.

A missed approach is mandatory if any of these are not achieved by 1,000ft AAL:
Landing config.
Stabilized on Glideslope/Final Approach Path
Stabilized at Command Speed/Vapp with a target speed of (taking into account the prevailing conditions -5kts to VAPP + 10kts

Landing checklist completed.
Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration and is not below the minimum power required for the approach.
-----------------------------------------

So my questions. (be easy on a newbie please)

Not in landing config at 1400, just advice the captain so that we be sure to have it at 1000 feet?

900 feet, and just realized landing checklist wasn't done. Go around?

A random ques. If ATC asks to do 160 till 4 and we know we would probably not be stabilized by 1000 using the average deceleration of 10 knots per NM.
Okay to start decel at 5 miles?

If we were doing an ILS approach with platform altitude of 1500 feet, this is now a stabilized approach correct?

For The 1500 in landing config and stable at 1000, should it always be ok to use RA?

With gusty winds, and speed moving around a lot and above Vapp + 10 and going back down, not a problem I assume?
Is it just that you should have decelerated to at least Vapp + 10 by 1000 feet.

Sorry for the random questions, and silly ones.
Thanks guys!
