Is it natural for the clutch to slip in 1st and 2st gear? It seems to me like the clutch is slipping in these gears and lower speeds. The tach moves a lot faster than the speedometer. 3rd gear and seems alright...

2) Because there is greater load in upper gears, a failing clutch will be most apparent in top gear.
If it doesn't slip in 6th, you don't have a clutch problem.

One way of testing if its slipping. Take the car out, cruise to say 30mph, put it in 5-6gear and floor the gas. If the rpm's move quickly and the car doesnt pick up speed the clutch is going/gone.

First the stock clutch is good am at 36Kmiles on the same one I know other with higher mileage. Their was a debate long ago over if a good driver that rev match and shifted clean could carry the stock clutch to 100K mile; I believe its possible
Unless it was a defect from the factory there is no way of ruining a clutch in under 2K miles unless that was your only goal.
Hashiriya test is properly the best one and bailey bill gave good info on way you may think its slipping

And don't forget to take your left foot and rest it on the dead pedal between shifts. Hopefully, you're not resting your foot on the clutch or making contact with it in any way during acceleration. You should always take your foot completely off the pedal, make not contact with the clutch, during acceleration. I think we all know that the clutch engagement point on a Z is high, but that only makes it easier for you get it into gear without scratching.
