    NatWest can report data they don't have. Sounds as if you overthinking this. Particularly if a letter has been provided.

    as long as you pay on time, have zero effect
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Some providers only report to certain agencies. It happens.

    Lenders wont think anything, but obviously a longer payment history would look better when scoring an application. 
    On its own though, it is unlikely to make any real difference, look at first time buyers they do not have a mortgage payment history. 

    I think you need to contact Metro if you want it resolved but I would not worry too much unless you have other issues in which case the longer payment history might help you.
