1- Do i qualify to apply for Naturalisation?

Yes, either the 3 or 5 year route if you meet the relevant requirements for each. You can apply on the basis of 3 years as spouse of BC and the requirement is to be married, which you are. If you apply on 3 years basis, you will need your spouse's passport or British birth certificate. If you apply on 5 years residence, you don't need it but they might ask for it.

2- If i qualify, do i just need to pay the AN Naturalisation fee (£1005) and UKM, UKF Section 4C, 4G, 4H, 4I registration (ceremony fee only) - £80? which makes a total of £1085.

UKM and UKF is NOT applicable to you. It form AN only and the fee of £1005 ONLY, which includes the ceremony fee.
