Clue's in the name. International foundation year. You can't apply to those. You can however apply to any bog-standard foundation year, or choose to resit your A levels.

No.

As above - UK Foundation only, or just work a bit harder.

If your grades are low then why are you planning to self study an additional A level and sit it privately - concentrate on your core A levels and get your grades up.

You can apply to universities even if your predicted grades are below what they ask for - it's all down to your attitude to risk but if you're willing to consider a gap year and reapplying as a backup option then it's perfectly fine to use all 5 choices for aspirational universities asking for more than your predictions. You might get 5 rejections but you have Extra and Clearing as backups plus a gap year and reapplying with your grades in the bag.
