1...the EEC keeps the ignitors on till 30%, hopeful for a relight
2 engine damage can be suspected if you hear abnormal noises, flt attndt can be used to check for any visual oil splashes, visual inspection from your station, etc
3. If you are below the SE ceiling and happy to maintain --then no prob. You will get better speeds the lower you are. if it helps use these speeds. so obviously if happy at 3000, then you can safely call out below the SE ceiling, if you feel opening the perf to chk your ceiling is not worth it !
4. for a balanced flight aerodynamically you will req wee bit aileron.

How about this:
Engine damage: Rough running, horrible noises, abnormally high temperatures, total seizure of stages, oil pissing out etc... If you are not sure go and have a look yourself.
SE ceiling: I'll guess you'll get a 1% net climb on most days to at least 9,000' because the Fokker 50 could do that.
Speed: How about 200kts. Nice round number.
Trim: Rudder first then aileron.
