Yes, you should remove or replace the NuvaRing on schedule regardless of any bleeding.
If you take out NuvaRing early, you may or may not have bleeding. This bleeding is withdrawal bleeding, not a menstrual period.
Yes, but if you're doing so just to prove you're not pregnant, reconsider. Just take a pregnancy test instead, and continue using the NuvaRing on schedule. If you're trying to change the date of your period, just use the NuvaRing without taking the week-long break, rather than stopping the NuvaRing early and putting yourself at risk of pregnancy. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation. If you want to stop NuvaRing, it's fine to remove it early. There's no other reason that I can think of in which removing NuvaRing early makes sense.

Yes, you have it exactly right! You can insert NuvaRing early. That's your new insertion/removal day.
Yes, you should take a pregnancy test if you had unprotected sex during the last month. The late period could be due to pregnancy or due to delayed ovulation after Nuva Ring.
You wait the 7 days and put another nuvaring in. You'll only have a period if the hormone level is low enough, some people lose periods altogether on the nuvaring.
The signs of pregnancy on NuvaRing are positive pregnancy test and missed periods. Take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant.
It can never hurt to be safe. If you have access to the plan B and cannot get in touch with your doctor, then take it to be safe. Having unprotected sex is not advised, even when you are using the NuvaRing, as it does not protect against STDs.
If you remove NuvaRing early, you're likely to have withdrawal bleeding earlier as well.
It's not surprising that you would have a very light period, even to the point of seeing no bleeding, after changing from Mirena to NuvaRing. Any hormonal birth control lightens withdrawal bleeding and may cause a missed period. If you're worried about pregnancy, take a test.
When NuvaRing is in, it is releasing hormones in your body. When you take out NuvaRing that hormone level goes down, and you have bleeding or spotting.
