Yes, is closed. Its complement is . Every has the basic open neighbourhood contained in this complement, and every has contained in it. Hence the complement is open in .
No, is not open. Every basic neighbourhood of has , so it contains points larger than . Therefore has no open neighbourhood contained in .
The interval is a basic open set contained in . The remaining point is not an interior point, by the preceding argument. Thus
The only isolated point of the subset is . Indeed,
so is open in the subspace topology. If , every basic neighbourhood containing also contains a point strictly between and , hence another point of . Such an is not an isolated point of the subset. Here isolation refers to with its subspace topology; is not an isolated point of the ambient Sorgenfrey line.
