Hello. Sorry. I did not realise you were not english. The comments i said were meant to be funny. They reference a UK comedy show called "The Fast Show".
I am not an expert at identifying koi varieties but i will try to guess.
It would be helpful if you could supply better pictures.
1 My first idea was a goshiki. However you may be correct by suggesting beni kumonryu.
Yes. It looks very good.
An important aspect to think about is.....
Unless you plan to take your koi to koi shows (meetings of koi enthusiasts where some people bring koi to be judged by a selection of judges) then....
It is not important if other people think your koi looks good, as long as you think it looks good.
2 Tancho Kohaku
3 I think so yes. The black dot is probably part of its pattern. I have a sanke with a black dot in the red tancho spot. Was the black dot there when you got it?
I hope that helps you. I may be wrong on all three as i am not an expert.

And they say the British sense of humour doesn't travel well.
C: I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
Replace "parrot" with "koi", and it sounds like a couple of fish shops I've been to.19,000 litres

1. Looks scaled so not a beni kumonryu, scaled kumonryu are matsakawabake so it would be a beni matsakawabake. Is it a good example of its variety, not really, but as said, if you like it, that's what matters.
2. Looks metallic, if so the fish is a Tancho KiKusui
3. Technically it's a sanke as the spot goes too far back onto the body to be a classified as a tancho, but for ease, tancho sanke.
