N-- Because it has less electrons, the proton pull is smaller on each individual electron, holding them closer to the nucleus and making the radius smaller

Nitrogen does, because it is to the left of Oxygen on the Periodic Table, and as a result, has one less electron and one less proton (don't consider neutrons). The electrons don't make a difference unless it's something like O-3, meaning an ion of Oxygen with 3 additional electrons, which gives it a whole new shell, and therefore a bigger radius.

The protons, however, have a big effect. Because Nitrogen has 1 less proton, it has less of a pull on it's electrons, and therefore doesn't keep them as close at bay as Oxygen does.

Yes. Sulfur and oxygen are both in column 16 of a wide form periodic table, with sulfur below oxygen. This means that sulfur has an additional shell of electrons compared with oxygen, and sulfur has a correspondingly larger radius.

Be because as you move across the periodic table from left to right it decreases and as you go from top to bottom it increases.

Were on the periodic table would you find atoms with the largest atomic radius?

Atomic radius increases down the group. So larger atomic radius are present at the bottom.
