Go ahead and try them. They will go if they are ready.

No, you should wait until they are older, and larger.

Re: Opinions on breeding young / small females
Well, here's me sticking my big head back into the mess. We had eggs come from our girl that wasn't up to the "magic" weight of 1500, and she gave us 4 very nice eggs, but they were also all around 100 grams when we weighed them. I don't want to say they weighed 100 grams coming out, because if I have it right we didn't weigh right away, so they very well could have put on some grams inbetween the time they were laid and we weighed them. (Egg's breathe, they absorb and release water weight every day, and they lose quite a bit as they get closer to hatching.)
Now this isn't to say that a small female won't have physically small eggs, but I rather expect her to have less eggs. I'm not sure how true all of this is in regards to the whole, it's just what happened in our situation.
