A little low, but for a 23 year old car not bad.

Id say thats fair. Its supposed to be around 1200 or a tiny bit more when its cold. 700 or so is fine, you have nothing to worry about

Is this only when you first start it, or even after you've been driving

Totally normal.

Could probably use a good throttle body cleaning and cleaning of the Idle Air Control Valve (both of which we can show you how to do).
