I would suggest you sit with your lawyers and figure out if there is a possibility of starting another green card with this employer, while this case is still going on. Because, if you are able to preserve your priority date and get another green card approval through PERM and the employer has the ability to pay wages, then it makes more sense to file another green card through this employer or through any other employer.

1. Absolutely. At the same time you cannot lie. 
2. Definitely.  Your HR would be a good source for this kind of information. Hence, in principle what you are saying is absolutely correct, but also remember that these papers are filed under penalty of perjury so one has to be meticulously truthful.

The moment your I-140 is approved your priority date is yours to keep. It can only be revoked if there is fraud, misrepresentation or some gross error in your paperwork. You can leave this employer and go somewhere else. You will have to start the green card all over again but you keep that date.
On the other hand, if the I-140 stays approved for 180 days without withdrawal or revocation you also have the right to keep extending your H-1B beyond six years with any employer until your priority date becomes current, when you are supposed to have filed the I-485. Your wife also has the right to keep extending her H-4EAD based upon your H-1B extensions. The I-140 upon approval immediately gives you the priority date to keep forever. That priority date can be transferred across visa categories and job categories. Once the I-140 is approved and stays approved for 180 days you have the right to extend your H-1B through any employer beyond six years, even if you left the employer 10 days after filing the I-140. Therefore you don't have to maintain the job for 180 days. Your I-140 must remain unrevoked for 180 days.

Do the  job order notice or job order which is filed with the local employment commission in the State. That is the only thing you can do and that could save you a few weeks time.

1. It will get rejected not because the requirements were low, but because the requirements were so basic that there were many applications for it.

2. It depends upon the job. Difficult to answer this.

3. Here again the question is not so much what your qualifications are but what the job requires.

The answer is probably not for the same job for which you were hired. You cannot use your master's degree that you obtained after you joined as a software developer, but you could certainly use it for the next higher job.

1. The reply is “No”. They cannot because employer B’s EB-3 was inherited by employer C, and you never filed a I-485 so that cannot be used.

2. Either go back to the first employer if they have a job offer. You can actually apply for a I485 without joining but this should be discussed with your lawyers in detail. Hence you could file for a I-485 based upon the job offer and I-140 which was approved through employer A but if you want to stick with employer C either you stick with EB-3 or you start another PERM application through them for your EB-2 categorization.
