Reply:
1) the Guru Granth Sahib says that no religion has suceeded in attempting to describe God and that what is important is to Love God. This referance is made toward Hinduism, Christianity, Sufi, Muslim, etc. Also Guru Ji preaches against empty rituals, such as bowing toward the sun, as Muslims do.
2) Yes, the word 'Allah' was one of the many common names for God, particularly describing God's quality as the Destroyer. One example is the Shabd 'Avale Allah noor upaia...' Which says that the One Lord has created all of the beings from one light so how can anyone be good or bad?
3) I haven't heard that Guru Nanak 'believed in' the Prophet Mohhamad, but I do know that Guru Ji says there is no Hindu, Musilman, Religion, but only God. Guru Nanak was a proponent of Truth, that doesn't exclude any Truth that Mohamad spoke.
