Depends how you delete, if you TRUNCATE the table it will reset the autoincrement.

If you Google you will find:

ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = value;

Yes it's possible

Either do nothing and your auto increment field will start at 1001 if it's true that you have 1000 records already. Or set your auto increment field to start at 1001.

perhaps you can use DBCC command to correct the actual seeding , and then stat from next value

DBCC CHECKIDENT (yourtable, reseed, 34)

An IDENTITY column would also do the trick.
