Can I open an ISA if I put £1k into one that matured in this tax year?

It wasn't at the max £20k, and I had a short window of time where I could add funds, so I put in another £1k by the January 25 deadline. My question is whether I can open a new ISA now before 5th April and…

I've always had fixed term cash ISAs until recently, but now I have a defined access cash ISA that I opened about a year ago with Virgin Money (it's one of those accounts with sort code starting with 8) I know this is a variable rate.

Flexible cash ISAs
I had a flexible cash ISA with Trading 212 that paid 5.17% interest and is now going down to 4.9%. Plum is offering 5.18% interest cash ISAs BUT the rate is much lower if it’s an ISA transfer. Am I correct in understanding that, because the trading 212 ISA is flexible, I would withdraw all the money in that ISA to a…

We probably won’t be buying within a year to two years, so I would have…
