1. Just wait. Either USCIS will approve the petition, send you RFE if they need more info or arrange an AOS interview for your parents.
2. They can stay. In fact they have to stay and can't travel out of US. if they leave US, i485 is cancelled. Did also file for EAD/AP? If they need to travel while i485 is pending, they can use AP.
3. Check the processing time on the USCIS site for the service center mentioned on the receipt notice or the Houston field office.

ark1: Thanks for your reply. It helps me as well. I'm trying to find guidance on whether one can file for AP alongwith I-130&I-485 joint application for one's parents? Any inputs will be appreciated.

Since this is an immediate family petition the current process times are 87 days from the form 797c Notice of action.
