SunTour freewheel replacement

The Great Bicycle Scare of 2020 is hampering my quests for a new bike and for a new freewheel for the old bike. The cupboard is pretty bare on both counts in shops around here. I’ll have to wait on the new bike, but I may be able to get the freewheel online. However, I don’t know enough to be sure whether I’m getting the right thing.

The old one is a SunTour accushift plus 7-speed 13-28. Confusingly, one bike shop guy told me these are still made, but I don’t think that’s correct. (Is it? Maybe he was thinking of Sunrace?)

The Sheldon Brown spacing cribsheet seems to indicate that at least some Shimanos should work without also replacing the derailleur and shifters, but I’m not sure how to tell whether a particular freewheel will work.

Does anyone know whether this would be right?

Would there be any problem going from 13 to 14 teeth on the smallest cog?

There is also this one:

Any help much appreciated.
