Some cm higher for the IM should be fine

From what I saw headstand looks fine...also awesome plus 1 bonus for your head cushion.

As Alex said, you want the IM to be parallel to the floor, so a little higher. I am still way outside of shoulder range but will continue to slowly work in. That's the usual advice...lower the weight to 3-5lbs then move the grip wide enough to achieve mastery. Once there up the weight a very small amount, widen the grip again, rinse and repeat.

I thought the inner part of the elbow was supposed to face downward.

Can one of the GB staff please chime in on this?

The elbows are that way cause he is holding it quite wide. Once you get to shoulder width they will point down.

So not just higher also closer.

Should i try to make elbow pits point down now, or should i wait, and it will happend naturally?

I would recommend pointing them down. I can easily hold the position at shoulder width if I let my elbow pits point out, but that might just be me.
