Crossing the US-Canada land border as a Canadian who just received their AOS approval to H1B

I'm a Canadian citizen currently residing in Seattle for work and just received an approval for adjustment of status from F1-OPT to H1B. I have been wanting to go back home to Vancouver because I haven't been back since January.

The questions I have are:

  1. After October 1, am I able to drive my Washington registered car and be let into Canada via the US-Canada land border?
  2. Will I be able to drive my car across the border back into the United States after 3-4 weeks with my Canadian passport and Approval Notice I-797 even with the new executive order limiting H1B visa entry? I do not need consular processing right?
  3. I am planning to stay there for 3-4 weeks due to the fact that there is a mandatory 14 day quarantine. Has any other Canadians with an H1B been given a hard time at the border for being gone that long?
  4. Would it be fine if I was working remotely during my time in Canada if the company has offices in Vancouver? Does the CBP care?

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
