Don't ever change your mind on the fly...if the word "missed" comes out of anyone's mouth you are going missed...

Descent below DH/DA is inevitable on an ILS to mins, unless you call missed above DH/DA for some reason. It is normal, expected, and happens all the time.

For CAT II and better, you can expect to possibly touch the runway with the mains while executing a missed.
