The layout I have been using has been a French America, but you bring up a very interesting point with the Russians and Dutch. However, I doubt Vinland and the Vikings would at all be affected by the absence of the British Isles, as the Viking came long before the English. Spanish colonies in Alta California would probably also push back Russian Pacific territories further north.

Regarding New Netherland's survival, looking at historic maps, New Netherland claims reached from Delmarva to Cape Cod at one point. New Netherland would most likely come into conflict with French Acadia, perhaps over claims in sparsely populated OTL Maine (similar to the Aroostook War).
