If your meter reads through the ND filter you do not need to accommodate the ASA setting for it (with 100 film, set it to 200 to drop the background exposure a stop). Do not filter the flash... set it to the AUTO setting that gives you f/8 at ASA 100. From this point on, I think you really need to experiment. Does the Lynx shutter open up all the way to f/2 at the 1/1000 setting? I'm not familiar with it, but I recall a Minolta that went to 1/2000... but it achieved the higher speeds by not opening all the way up, so they were only usable at smaller apertures.
