Now I am at "Page 795 of 1430" of the Granth reading only Nanak's contents from it and understanding Nanak and his teachings from his own words. Is it right, please?

I understand from what I have read so far that Nanak did not claim to be a Guru in a clear, unequivocal, unambiguous and straightforward manner, as per Granth .
If yes, please quote from Nanak?
Right, please?

Isn’t Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa a biased translator of Granth, please?
I understand that he is biased towards “Sikh” and or "Sikhs" or "Sikhism" .

For Example:
Granth Page 1032
Text and Translation by Dr.Sant Singh Khalsa:

Maaroo, First Mehl:
BUly isK gurU smJwey ] (1032-1)
bhoolay sikh guroo samjhaa-ay.
The Guru instructs His wandering Sikhs;
auJiV jwdy mwrig pwey ] (1032-1)

if they go astray, He sets them on the right path.
iqsu gur syiv sdw idnu rwqI duK BMjn sMig sKwqw hy ]13] (1032-1)

So serve the Guru, forever, day and night; He is the Destroyer of pain - He is with you as your companion. ||13||
PAGE 1032 - Gurmukhi to English Translation and Phonetic Transliteration of Siri Guru Granth Sahib.

Dr.Gopal Singh, M.A., Ph.D.
Translation Page [984] Granth P.1032 Maru M.1
Volume 4
“If the Devotee committeth an error, the Guru maketh him wise:
Yea, if he goeth astray, the Guru instructeth him back to the Path.
Serve ever thou such a Guru, O man, who Destroyeth thy sorrows and ever Abideth with thee. [13]”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji vol4

O Dear One, please preserve the Honor of Your Name; I am hand and glove with You. (504-16)
Bless me with Your Mercy, and reveal to me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, O Guru. Through the Word of the Shabad, I have burnt away my ego.” ||7|| (504-16)

@paarsurrey

Here is very interesting discussion between a Sikh and Muslim.
It may help you to understand how Sikhs think.
It contains deep scriptural analysis.
From the introduction:

Basics of Sikhi organised the Urban Turban Sikhi Awareness event in Hounslow. Imran Ibn Mansur Khan (AKA Dawah Man) from Islam Hounslow approached us for a short Q&A. It lasted one hour and was filmed. Note, we were not looking to debate them and neither are we interested in criticising Islam or trying to point out flaws or even trying to prove Sikhi to them. Therefore, most of the conversation is revolved around the questions by Brother Imran (Dawah Man). We thank him and the Islam Hounslow team for being very civil on the day. As Guruji teaches us, we are all human and should try and get along in spite of our differences, as the greater good lies in recognising our similarities. May Vaheguru/Allah help us all to have compassion in our hearts and to submit our ego to his will and call upon his Name. Vaheguru!

Now I am at " Page 1255 of 1430" of the Granth reading only Nanak's contents from it and understanding Nanak and his teachings from his own words. Is it right, please?

I find following verse at page 1254 of Granth by Nanak:

"Eating, drinking, laughing and sleeping, the mortal forgets about dying. Forgetting his Lord and Master, the mortal is ruined, and his life is cursed. He cannot remain forever. || 1 || O mortal, meditate on the One Lord. You shall go to your true home with honor. || 1 Pause ||"
PAGE 1254 - Gurmukhi to English Translation and Phonetic Transliteration of Siri Guru Granth Sahib.

In essence I understand, Nanak had left Hinduism altogether. Isn't above verse a witness to it, please?

Yes, Sikhism, or say "Guru nakak ji" always suggests to meditate on the One Lord, rather than multiple gods.
But, this doesn't mean that Sikhism /"Guru nakak ji" reject the existence of multiple gods.

Suggesting something doesn't mean Rejecting something :)
