As far as I know, if you ever leave the country without the AP your process is considered abandoned and you have to file all over again.
As for the other questions, I don't know what you meant.

If the petition is approved, you have to file I-824 to move it from USCIS to NVC. That takes a long time so start ASAP. If the petition is still pending, you may be able to contact USCIS to update where they send it after approval.

If you travel before receiving the AP, your I-485 will be abandoned. Since the EAD and AP are based on the I-485, they won’t be approved. You’ll forfeit the $1225 for the adjustment.

The I-130 can be moved to a consulate, but don’t expect that to be a quick process. You’ll have to move your I-130 to consular processing, wait for that to be approved, then start a new green card application under consular processing (not I-485, that can only be done from within the US).
