That sounds to be okay, there is no simple way to set up or alter the tick over speed like in a carb, it would need to be carried out using something like VCDS and then changing a field value.

Does not sound too bad - I will try to remember to check ours the next time I drive it.

Sounds about right to me too. Cannot recall what mine is exactly but think it's somewhere around 650-700 once warmed up.

700 sounds correct to me

I guess it varies a little with engine type,ours is an AUB,this picture taken today.

This is a link to a thread on the skoda forum - I have not read it all but Wino posted this list of engine codes and idle speeds,assuming they are similar to polo specs.

Ah, my BBY is an auto box which might explain the slightly lower tickover.

I would imagine that a lower idle speed on an Auto is quite desirable - cuts down on the 'Thump' and 'Creep' when drive is selected.
