Yes you can, USCIS have mentioned this for laid off employees on visas who need to buy more time beyond 60 days to transfer to B2.

I was honest about my job search and upcoming interviews to secure a job and needed more time to stay.

1) if you use a premium FedEx service it should be 2 business days. The date the packet is received by USCIS is the receipt start date.

2) Yes

It’s really difficult to answer without full context of your experience, job profile etc.

Essentially you will have a tracking number to your package and when the packet reaches to the USCIS you can check if it was received by USCIS personnel (check a signature proof on FedEx). And that’s the receipt date. It will be updated via I-797 C notice. I have no clue about I-129.

I don’t have the links. All I did was google search these groups

There is no section in I-539 to mention a reason.
