1. The answer will be no. You will be allowed to enter the U.S. at least for one time.
However, your experience may vary. You may be referred to the Immigration Court to fight for your residence.
2. You are too late for that. Re-entry permit can be only applied in the U.S.
3. Yes.

1. Yes - based on current case load, 1-2 years.
Unless you have applied for Advanced Parole, you are not allowed to leave the U.S. (as leaving the U.S. will indicate you abandon your chance to fight).

Also yes - you have to surrender your card immediately. However, CBP will still grant you the rights as Permanent Resident (like employment, and unlimited time to stay until a decision has been made).
2. Yes. If you have that handy, it will be great.

My little advice - regardless you want to do it in a legal way (SB-1 Visa) or take the risk (just flying), you have to remember that you hold the burden to prove that you have intention to maintain as a U.S. permanent resident.

1. No - elderly is unforuntately not a reason.
(Unless your situation is like you lost both parents and the elderly took care of you, or something like that.)

2. (a) Yes. In fact - it is a straight renewal. If you are allowed to enter, you will have no problem renewing the card.
However, it usually takes 3 months to do so.
2. (b) I will simply focus this time for now.
3. Yes. It takes about 3-6 months depending on the case.

For the issue with SB-1 Visa, the difficulty is once you are denied, you have no right to appeal and you will need to start the entire immigration again if you want to.
