Retirement tax questions

You don't include any of the Roth amounts as part of the conversion.  That amount is considered a Roth contribution effective 2017.  The original contribution has a basis of $1000; the growth on that amount does not increase the basis.  The conversion of the other IRA amounts in 2018 add to the $1000 basis.  Those amounts do include the growth, because the growth  is taxable at the time of the conversion.
