The answer to your question depends on how you feel and your level of self-esteem.
If you want to lose a few pounds, don't go on a crash diet since you are likely to end up on a roller coaster ride...up and down in weight. I would suggest reducing your fast food intake, do some more salads (a little easy on the dressing), try drinking more water and set up a simple exercise program (that may be no more than walking to the store once a day instead of driving).
If you work on it a little at a time, you will probably find your ideal weight. I don't believe in a set weight per height system. The better your diet and exercise program, the more likely you are to find your ideal weight. Take it easy and slow, and you'll be happy you did. I am going to guess your ideal weight would be about 135, but more ideally, whatever you are comfortable with. If you are comfortable with your weight, most people around you will be also. If your not, guess what, most people will be uncomfortable with you.

If you mean, is it unhealthy, then no. Being 150 @ 5'8" will not automatically make you unhealthy. It depends on what you eat of course. But "fat" is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think so, but I don't matter, do I?

It all depends on build, age, and how you want to look. Check out the website for info.

No. You're a tall woman and less weight could make you look bony.

If you like the way you look then you are fine, but if you loose a lot, you're gonna look too thin.
