Your knowledge about the character of the revolt is good but need to write according to the demands of the question.
Introduction is fine ( you can replace ‘nearly swiped’ with a bit moderate term such as fIrst major challenge).
Next, write how the revolt started off as a mere military mutiny- you can say that the events were pretty localized in nature, there was no centralized leader during the initial phases of the revolt and it was limited mainly to military cantonments with very less involvement of peasants, civilians and local leaders.
After that, mention some causes for the changed character of the revolt.
Short term causes can be disgruntled landlords who became leaders of the revolt and Lord Dalhousie’s annexation policy.
Long term causes can be economic and other socio-religious grievances.
After that, write the points that show the national character of the revolt. Points mentioned by you are fine here. Next part can be added as still there were factors which raised a question on the national character and then you can mention those points as well.
Conclusion is fine.
Basically, you have to show the journey from a mere military mutiny to national insurrection and mention the reasons behind it.
Keep practicing. Check the model answers. 🙂

Introduction is good.
In next part, you have mentioned that it started with sepoy mutiny. That’s good, further, you can also mention that the events were pretty localized in nature, there was no centralized leader during the initial phases of the revolt and it was limited mainly to military cantonments with very less involvement of peasants, civilians and local leaders.
In next part, you have just mentioned that it got air and turned into national movement. Mention some reasons for that.
Short term causes can be disgruntled landlords who became leaders of the revolt and Lord Dalhousie’s annexation policy.
Long term causes can be economic and other socio-religious grievances.
Next part about national character is fine. You can also mention communal unity, emergence of a national leader in the Mughal king etc
A brief 1-2 points on why historians still question the national character (Limited geographical spread, national disunity etc) can also be mentioned at last.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. For structuring the answer, check model answers. Content can be clipped. 🙂

Hello
You need to post the answer to the given question here.
However, this answer is decent. First part of the answer needs to be wrapped up a bit earlier.
Contributions of Savitribai Phule are well written, although you could present it in a better manner, pointwise giving different sub- points such as role in female education, role in combating casteism, literary works etc
Introduction-conclusion are fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
