That category system is really meant for over the board tournament chess,  where playing conditions are controlled.  That being said- it's still too early to say.

The fact that you have only lost one game shows that your current rating is probably still not very accurate.  That is also indicated by your Glicko RD (rating deviation) of 86, which estimates that your true rating is somewhere in a 2 x 86 point range around 1853. (See the article linked below for more explanation.)

Keep playing until your rating settles a bit. The RD will go down to 25 or so, which means that there is a 95% chance that your rating is accurate within a 50 points range.

It means, if you just played those many games, you just started. So, most beginners start with around 800-1600 or something.

The more you play the less you earn, the less you lose, so I would say...

1. Great job on those wins!

2. The first few games if you win you get about 100-300 points,the more you play (as seen above) the less you earn, maybe until you earn 5-10 about normal, but it depends on the ratings,

3.thats it for now!
