You can expect your snake to at least double in size in its first year. Growth rate depends on genetics, amount of food consumed and access to temperatures that are warm enough to digest food quickly.



There is no significant nutritional difference between frozen mice and live ones. Generations of snakes have been raised and reproduced on nothing but appropriately-sized frozen/thawed mice.



It sounds like you're doing exactly what I do when raising baby snakes - keep up the good work!
