All excellent advice. I would add that if you have an idea for a scene that takes place further in the story, or even at the very end, write it even if you have no idea how it will connect with the part that is already written. These things have ways to sort themselves.
Yes, for sure! I've done this many times. What I do even more often is go back and insert scenes earlier in the story to set up new ideas as they come to me.
I’m glad you consider the advice useful. It works for me, but writers aren’t all alike, nor does the same advice resonate with everyone. Hopefully this advice will work for someone needing it.

All actionable advice that isn't mystical or about "talent". Thank you!
