Specifically I am wondering if they get the improvements to intelligence and natural armor? It seems like you do, but I just want to be sure... Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

So a pseudodragon (normally Int 10) would have Int 10 until it's master reached 11th level, and it would follow the familiar table after that. (Note that the listed ice mephit example is simply wrong, however.)
