Moving forward with consular processing. Can we travel to the States for vacation while my wife (Spain) awaits green card approval?

My wife (Spain) and I (US Citizen) are living in Europe. We started the green card process for her while we were living in the States but we moved to Europe before the I-130 had been approved. It has since been approved and we submitted form I-824 to move the approval to the National Visa Center to proceed with consular processing.

I have two main question:

1) Can we travel to the States while her visa application is pending (for vacation)? Would she just need to apply for an ESTA?

2) What are the next steps for her to receive a green card once the I-130 is sent to the national visa center? How long might it take?

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...
