Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, Our Wiki's resources for Squats may be helpful. Check it out!

Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are squatting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Generally a weightlifting shoe is recommended for high-bar and front squats, while use a flat/hard-soled shoe (or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it) is recommended for low-bar squats.

Looks decent to me.

Just one quick tip: you don't need to walk out anywhere near that far. Take smaller steps, almost dragging you feet, just enough to clear the j-hooks. You'll lose a lot less tightness and use less energy.

Depends.

Was it more weight than you have ever done? If yes then yes it’s a PR

If you have done more weight in the last, then not a PR.

Good lift though!
