There is a calculator somewhere for that, you input your hashrate and the current difficulty and it tells you when you will get block for sure, when you got 50% chance of winning and i think a few other points.

I'm not sure where, perhaps you can find it on the wiki? If not, try Google

with 900MH/s, you don't even expect a block every month at current difficulty.  You could potentially go months without ever finding a single block while difficulty continually increases.

You are much better off in a pool with only 900-1300MH/s

If you've set everything up right, then yes... you'd better have a ridiculously powerful ATI gpu though, if you're solo mining...  From what I've heard, multi-GPU setups are best.
