First, as a non-native English speaker, I'd like someone to read through the article and comment on the language. Secondly, as I have re-written most of the article, I want to ask senior Wikipedians advice on how to proceed with it. Should I add more info on some areas? My ambition wants to seek a GA or A status, but is it sensible as she is still active and releasing a new album?

I fixed one minor typo, but this article is honestly in very good shape. I'd suggest you nominate it for GA.
Mandy Moore was recently a FA, and she's still active in acting and music, so I don't think her future career would cause any trouble.

Indeed, the language needs work. The article should be copy-edited by a native English speaker. You can file a copy-editing application in
Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors. In the lead for instance, there is no variety of expression (you repeat the same forms of expression and words like "Sweden", "hit" etc.).
We do not wikilink single years (2005). Only date-month-year (e.g.
January 1,
2005). Check
WP:MoS.
I know she is too young, and the biography cannot be long enough. But any possible expansion and addition of information would be welcome.
"This Is Me Now" and "This Is Me Now" are not part of her biography. Maybe you should create a new section, in which to incorporate these sub-sections under "Career" or "Hits" or something similar.
"The third album" is stubby. Could you expand it a bit?
Are there any critics' comments about her talent, her voice, her future maybe as an artist?
The fact she is active is no problem for GA or A-Class Biography project nomination. You will have of course to update the article when something new happens.--
