Not quite right. Closer to the 1000 mark, a little over 960 called for interviews and a little less places than you mention.

I was told at the Naval base that, 370 were called for Interviews. 210 will go through to the Medical, and 120 will be recruited.

Say you pass the interview and get through to the next phase which is the medical. Does this mean that once you pass the medical you're in? This is specifically for the army but I'd assume it works for the navy aswell.

Not necessarily.

For the Eastern Brigade, they are expecting 110 to be recruited. I would expect somewhere in the region of 200 to be called for medicals as the failure rate for medicals is usually quite high.

These will also be security cleared before enlistment as well.

You could be number 200 called for medical, 130 might pass and you end up as the number 20 sub. So just because you pass the medical does not mean you will get recruited

Do the highest scorers in the interview do medicals first? or how are people separated?

Well done, I got an email saying I'll be going forward to medical this morning from the Navy at 9.06am so maybe they just sent them all out together. 6th to the 17th were the original dates which may still be going ahead but be prepared for changes just in case. Best of luck
