Does FG affect the amount of priming sugar?

I recently brewed an extract batch of pale ale. It started at 1.050 and after a month in primary it is at 1.018. The final gravity seems a little high, but the fermentation doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I have two questions:

1) Is this okay to bottle?
2) Should I add less priming sugar because of the sugar already in the beer?
 
It's fine to bottle if the gravity is stable. You don't reduce the amount of priming sugar.

I use 1oz of corn sugar, by weight, per finished gallon of beer. That's generally 4.5 ounces per batch
