if you're doing law it should be fine (as long as you're not doing music)

Will make little/no difference. Just apply if your AL predictions are suitable.

That GCSE grade shouldn't be a problem. It's worth noting though that Oxford don't care about extracurriculars, and they don't use UCAS points at all in their admissions process. LAMBDA will not help your application.
