You should be ok since it has been more than 5 years since you turned 26.

You can provide an affidavit explaining the reason for not registering for the selective service. Most USCIS offices will accept an unintentional failure to register.

Probably. You can explain why you did not register earlier at the interview.

It depends on the age at which you became a permanent resident. Non-registration in and of itself is not a bar.
