Just did a session of 8 miles at 5:40 pace, felt like a tempo effort and could of ran 1 or 2 miles more.
Been doing 60-70 miles a week with long runs up to 16 miles and sessions such as 5x 1 mile at 5:20-5:25 pace with 2 minutes recovery, 8x600s in 1:48 with 90s recovery, recent 10k in 33:48.
Yes, as long as the half marathon is a similar course as the 10k and workouts.
There are plenty of running calculators online that will convert your 10k to something in the 1:15s.

Seems like the right ballpark for a 33:48, although you might be on the lower end, or slower than 1:15 if the 33:48 is your current shape. But what do I know? I ran a 1:18:35 and a 35:06 at around the same time.

You're in exactly the same shape and only doing slightly less mileage than I was in when I ran 1:15:2x. Find a fast course and good weather and you're golden.
Yes.... If you can hold that tempo pace for another 5.1 miles you're right around 1:14:15. If you felt like you could have only gone 1-2 more miles I suspect you may be closer to 1:15:30 - 1:16
