Assuming conditions and your equipment are identical between the half and full, I don't think you're going to gain 4 minutes. I've always found the 2xHM time+10 minutes formula being a little aggressive for me, but I know that formula works for a lot of people.
You're probably in the 3:02 - 3:10 category depending on how well you can handle the last 10k of the race. I would guess closer to 3:10 given it's your first marathon. I'd probably go out at 7:02 and try to hold 7:02-7:05 for the first 18 miles. If I was feeling good, I'd start trying to run at 6:50-7:00, and if I'm feeling bad, just try to hold that pace.
