Up to 3/4 full forward elevator

At a given speed during unstalled flight, if you increase your G-loading are you pulling stall speed closer to you (i.e. increasing stall speed)?

Only when above Va.

Yes

Only when below Va.

Is the ball or slip-skid indicator reliable during a stall? During a spin?

Stall - No, Spin - No

What does the ‘Push’ step mean in the AAURS?

Push the elevator to the forward stop

Move the elevator control forward with neutral ailerons until an unload is felt, and any stall characteristic (if present) is eliminated. Also note if any yaw is present. Stabilize the rudder; avoiding cyclic movement and do not attempt to primarily roll with the rudder.

Push both rudder pedals with equal pressure

As a general rule of thumb during upright spin recoveries (unless published to the contrary), should the pilot ever push the elevator forward BEFORE applying opposite rudder?

Yes

It doesn't matter as long as everything ends up in the right spot at some point.
