  *> Check RFC1191. You have a list of likely values for MTU.
  *> Deduct the IP header length to get the MSS.

No.  See sectiokn 4.2.2.6 of RFC 1122.

  *> Hi,
  *> 
  *> I'm looking for values of the Maximum segment size and
  *> slow start threshold for different implementations of
  *> TCP.  Is there some place where I can get a table of
  *> common MSS and  SST values along with the TCP
  *> version/OS they are associated with?
