It wouldn't surprise me if you had more growth in you, but nobody can tell without looking at your xrays. Anything I tell you would be a guess. Your doctor might be able to tell from the xrays that you've already had. (Google "Risser sign" to get a little information on what your doctor can estimate how much growth is left.)

That being said, the fused part of your spine won't grow anymore while, if you're not through growing yet, the remaining non-fused spine will do the growing.

probably, but most women dont even reach that height, especially at ur age. alot of the girls who are 14 at my school arent that tall. most are like 5'2-5'5

I don't know if you'll get taller, but you definitely sound tall enought to me. Thats the normal height of girls my age at school. I'm the same age as you btw.
