1. Are the risk treatment options limited to the four discussed in your publication?
I'm assuming you are referring to the book ISO 27001 Risk Management in Plain English https://advisera.com/books/iso-27001-annex-controls-plain-english/
Considering that, risk acceptance, risk avoidance, risk mitigation, and risk transfer are the most common and used treatments, but regarding ISO 27001 you can use other approaches you may find useful.
2. Is there conventional risk acceptance criteria, based on likelihood and consequence?
Common types of risk acceptance criteria involve financial, brand, and legal aspects, but there are no conventional details, like the range of financial values, because these details will depend on the business objectives and its tolerance to risks (e.g., for organizations with low tolerance to risk, the acceptable financial impact of risk will be lower than for organizations with high tolerance to risk)

3. Is treatment options generated from risk acceptance criteria?
No. Treatment options are based on the identified risk and your available resources. The risk criteria will give you an idea about how much resources you should consider, but they do not define them.

Please note that ISO 27001 requires only requirements relevant to information security, not all the regulations in a country.
Additionally, please note that the list in the article you mentioned is not fully up-to-date because it depends on voluntary contributions from our readers – therefore, it is likely that not all regulations for each country are listed (some even may have been withdrawn). To make sure you have the latest list of laws and regulations, it would be best to hire a local legal adviser.

This depends on the type of your medical device. It is expected that, if the medical device is sterile, those necessary premises are properly clean. Also, there should be no cross-contamination between warehouse and production, that pathways for raw material and final goods are not crossed over each other. It is also expected that everything will be properly labeled. For example, cabinets, tables, drawers if they can be used for different purposes (eg clean/unclean) that it is so marked; if there is a defined place to dispose of something then that too should be properly marked; in the warehouse to see exactly where the non-compliant products are disposed of, and to see the paths of forklifts and people. If separate work clothes are required, then the place from which one can only move in it should be marked.

When we talk about developments within the organisation are we talking solely about development of software for use within the organisation, or does this include development of commercial software as a product to be sold to customers?
Please note that the term "developments within the organization" refers to the development process, not to the final users, so it is applicable both for when developed software is for internal use or is to be sold to customers.
Secondly, does the word development include the configuration (no coding or customisation) of commercial software packages such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM, or Xero accounting.
So, if development of c
The configuration is an action related to installation, not development.
Considering both previous answers, control A.14.2 would be applicable in case the mentioned development process covers commercial software.
I'm assuming that by ITU you mean "International Telecommunication Union".
Considering that, ISO 27017 was developed in collaboration with ITU-T and there is a text-based on this standard published as ITU-T. X.1631 (07/2015), so controls from this standard are covered by ITU. Regarding ISO 27018, it only references ITU-T Y.3500, so probably some additional documents may be required (we are not experts on ITU, so we cannot provide a more precise answer).
Psychology within risk treatment is out of our field of expertise, but in a general way, for every risk where the human factor is involved, you should consider means, motivation, and opportunity when analyzing a situation. By elimination of these elements from the situation, you can decrease the risk, and for controls, you should consider:

Before sending your finished product to customers/clients want kind of control should be done to ensure that specifications are met? What to control? How to control? With what frequency? What should be the sample size? Who will control? Where to record the results?

I think that the two most common questions during an ISO 9001 audit are.
What is your organization’s quality policy?
What is your work? What are you doing? How do you know what to do or how to do?
