All the above four medicines can be safely taken during pregnancy, none of them cause any fetal malformations.
You will have to continue these medicines throughout pregnancy. You should be under continuos care of your gynaecologist and physician throughout pregnancy and follow their advice.

Yes
the policy is to add 2 new drugs if required
consult a specialist in tb since you intend to add only levofloxacin to already effective medication.
