Getting more than 1000 results

There is a delicate balance between PageSize and SizeLimit.

That is, if you don't set PageSize then you will only get 1000 results, not matter how many results there are.

Counterintuitively, increasing the SizeLimit doesn't help - instead, you should set the PageSize to be 1000. This is the only change you need to make.

The reason for this, is that SizeLimit limits the amount of results that you can retrieve at once - so your PageSize needs to be less than or equal to this. The paging is done automagically behind the scenes when you call FindAll() etc.
