Under part 91 you can ALWAYS shoot the approach. The visbility on the approach plate is only needed to land. So you break out, and if you have a 1/2 (or whatever the plate says) you land. Assuming you one of the required things in sight.

This visibility is FLIGHT visibility, it has nothing to do with what the ATIS/ASOS/Tower vis/ or RVR is calling. You make the decision no one else.

In part 121 and 135 you need the visibility required for the approach to begin it. You get this from the asos/atis/tower/rvr. If you're already past the FAF and the vis drops you can contiune the approach, and land if when you break out you determine have the required visibility on the plate.

Part 91, nothing illegal about going down to take a look. But, if you're going to do that, you'd better be expecting to do a missed approach. A lot of times we shoot instrument approaches fully anticipating the end result to be a landing, but that shouldn't be the case if the weather is reported below mins.

In that scenario, a landing should be an aborted missed approach, not the other way around.

All of the above.

If you have approach lights at DA, you can continue to 100 ft AGL. If the runway is in sight at that point, you land. If it's not, you go missed.

Not quite, Approach light system and not AGL,its TDZE.
