You will need to get a single re-entry permit (1000 baht) to keep the remainder of your 90 day entry valid when your return from your trip.

1. That depends upon the office where you apply.

2. Yes

3. You should have plenty of time to get your work permit. You will not be able to apply for the extension until the last 30 days of your 90 day entry.
