Should I still apply to Georgetown with a 1450 SAT?

I am an SFS Alumna who interviewed candidates for decades for Georgetown and was fairly involved in the admissions process. I would definitely recommend you apply. Your profile fits SFS across many facets and your SAT should not be a deal breaker, IMO. As for EA vs RD, Georgetown has historically been more selective in the EA pool; if the process is the same as it has been in the past, I see no advantage for you to apply EA. I’m not sure I would bother taking the SAT again - obviously your call - but it could make sense to explore the ACT. If you consider that, I would take several timed previous actual ACTs and see if your results are significantly different than your SAT. As you noted, you will need to send all scores to Georgetown. I wish you the best!
