Under the current laws, if you change jobs after I-140 approval you keep your priority date, but you lose your right to H-1 extensions beyond what is given if your old employer revokes/withdraws the I-140.
Now answering your questions
Answer 1.No, you will get an H-1B extension for the time remaining and you can actually claim one year extra if your PERM was filed more than a year ago. But you will get only three years if the I-140 is approved. Not if it is pending.
Answer 2. I don't recommend it. I think you should get your I-140 premiums, get it approved and then leave if you want to.
Answer 3. I don't think that is a major issue, but do talk to your lawyers. Hence it makes sense in my view not to change until the I-140 is approved.

We are grateful to Mr.Rajiv Khanna ji , Kalpana ji and the team that worked on our son's fiancée's K-1 Visa .
The support and guidance through the process was very professional. They worked directly with my son and his fiancée who joins him next week as she received her Visa successfully. They were gracious enough to work with us patiently and help us through our mistakes while giving them the required information to file his case.
We would recommend them to anyone who needs help with Immigration. They are definitely experts and they work with you on your issues and the end result is a positive one. Our experience working with them was very pleasant and positive.
Thank you Rajivji and Kalpanaji
