GLONASS block 50S, also refered to as S1

Is launch complex 43/4 currently the only operating Soyuz launch site at Plesetsk?
I haven't seen complex 16/2 listed for a launch since the last Soyuz-U launch from Plesetsk in 2012.

The stack of Fregat-M and Glonass-M separated from the third stage. It will take several hours for Fregat to deliver satellite to target orbit.

yes. 43/3 is in upgrades for Soyuz 2.1 Family excluding Soyuz 2.1v
yes. 16/2 is in upgrades for Soyuz 2.1v only. This will become dedicated pad for Soyuz 2.1v and its fully decommissioned backup pad is disused pad 41/1. currently 41/1 will not be rebuilt unless a long term need/demand arises.

I presume the satellite:

- is GLONASS-M #751
- is now in orbital plane III and will go to slot 17
- is launched as GLONASS block 52S?  ;)
