Playoff countries.

Belgium or Turkey
Armenia or Ireland
Estonia or Serbia
Bosnia or France
Sweden
Greece or Croatia
Montenegro
Denmark, Portugal or Norway
Czech Republic or Scotland

One will go through as best second place team.

Actually, does not look too bad! We would be hoping ironically for an away second tie, as we get the better results away!

Slovakia away 1-1 home 0-0
Russia away 0-0 home 2-3
Macedonia away 0-2 home 2-1
Andorra away 0-2 home 3-1
Armenia away 0-1 home ?

Away we have collected 11 points outta 15
home we have collected 7 points outta 12

A draw against Armenia and it's a playoff. Beat Armenia and it's still probably a playoff unless Andorra beat Russia :D. Lose to Armenia and it's goodnight Luke.

We're also in the running, but probably unlikely, for a best second place direct qualification.  We badly need Holland to beat Sweden in Sweden (I think).

are the playoffs seeded again,  or has UEFA got all their favourites through already??

No we're not. We can't catch whoever finishes second in Group H.

That's right, in fact we are not in contention at all for the best runner up spot.
Those guys need to keep up with the program  ;D
But being seeded in the play-off draw is just about guaranteed should Irl beat Armenia.

That means if we get through to the play off it will be on the back of a a gammy draw.

If the play offs are seeded based upon UEFA coefficients will Ireland be in the top 4? Would Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark and Turkey not all be above Ireland?

Without getting too technical, if Ireland win they should be seeded in the play offs.
Ireland are already ahead of the Czech Rep and Turkey.

The play off seedings will be based on positions in this table.

But if there is an alignment of 4 different circumstances, Ireland could win and not be seeded.
