Yes and yes.

Right, as well.

I've tweaked the clue for number 9.

Aha, I jumbled the letters up & stared at them long enough to get excited when I saw 'not more' leap out at me.

7 180

I thought 7 might be "Reversi".
And 9 = Risk ?

Sorry, they are not right.

Two clues are left:

5. ‎Bouquet of bluebells.
9. ‎Warsaw 52°14′N 21°1′E.

Both require a bit of lateral thinking.

9. Pole Position

Yes!

In hindsight a better clue would perhaps have been "90 degrees north or south".

5. Wild bunch?
