Can former(?) LPR, Schengen resident enter the US now?

I received my conditional green card in September of 2019, based on marriage to a US citizen. At that point we were both residents of the US and had been married for 21 months.

I left the US on July 27 2020 to take up residence in my home country. I applied for and received a reentry permit before leaving the US, expiring 09/03 just as my GC. We're currently residing in a Schengen area country (travel ban).

Our daughter is an American citizen and carries an American passport. She's less than two years old, born in the US.

We would like to attend a wedding in October. It's clearly not an issue for my husband or daughter to enter the US, but I'm unsure about my situation. My understanding is that since I've abandoned my US residence for more than 12 months, I'm technically no longer an LPR. I have yet to apply for an extension, but as I am aware, I am only able to do so if I had us residence. I do have a permanent US mailing address that is not a PO or such, and an active phone number.

Can I apply for an extension? Am I no longer an LPR now? I've seen that dependents and spouses of US citizens can be exempted from the travel ban, but would that apply to me? Is it unreasonable to think I'll be able to enter as a spouse under the current ban?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! 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...
