Think your .mdp-file looks reasonable.
If you are totaly unsure you could determine the PMF of two water molecules. As a reference one can use the radial distribution function g(r) and calculate the PMF as
V_pmf(r) = -kT LN(g(r))

One side note:
Since the force constant you are using is relative large you will need a relative small distance increment between the individual umbrella windows.

After running for 100 ps, I visualized the pullf_umbrella.xvg, in this plot I 
found the F value around 100 kJ/mol/ns. But force constant which I had set in 
md_US.mdp file was 4000 KJ/mol/ns. Does this difference show me that the US has 
not done properly?
