IF SO HOW MUCH MORE WILL I GROW

Can't tell you exactly how much you will grow, but I do know that bones keep on growing until you are around 21. I don't think it will have a drastic effect on your height though.
There's nothing wrong with being petite anyways. From your measurements, I'm sure you look totally cute.

You are only 17, puberty does not stop until you are 18. If you have been this height for a while, it is highly unlikey you will grow any more. But, you never know, you could grow a bit more. Bout not much.

Women almost always stop growing once menstruation starts. The bones fuse as soon as the breast begin to develop, and then menstruation begins. If you have had all these things happen by now, you are not going to grow any further. I stopped growing at 13, I started my period at 11. Usually two years post period.

the human body on average will undergo a growing boost every seven years till the age of 21.
so yes you may still grow taller and gain weight.
as for how much with out the proper tests that can not be answered on this site.

Females grow until their growth plates fuse, typically at or shortly after menstruation. Estrogen causes this to happen. Boys can grow until 18-19. No estrogen. This is why girls are typically shorter than boys.
Sorry, I think that you're not growing any more.

yes you are still growing. emotionally and physically. the only way to know exactly how tall you will be is if you had been measured on your 3rd birthday. You take that height and double it and that is how tall you will be. your weight will flexuate.
