Did you get the I-551 stamp in your passport? I am not sure if the same rules apply in PR as they do in the states but sometimes from my understanding they do take your GC away when you get the I-551 stamp. The old GC card isnt good anymore anyway. I hope this helps! I would make sure you keep any documentation USCIS sends you regarding your case.

You should be hearing something soon from CSC. You should be receiving your 10 year green card before you have to move back to California. Unfortunately, it is a waiting game.

They took my husband's expired green card when he got the stamp in his passport. They said if his new greencard doesn't arrive before the stamp expires, we should do another infopass appointment so they can do another stamp. So, you might need to go back for another stamp on or just before the stamp expires?

Yes you can apply for citizenship while your I-751 is processing (i believe) as long as you meet the requirements, however imo you should just wait for your GC. Have you applied to renew your passport yet? If not I think that would be the next step, you need a new passport anyway. If you don't receive an approval by the time your passport expires (and you have the re-newed passport) I would make another info-pass appointment explaining you need another I-551 stamp because your old one expired, and if you still have it bring your old passport with you that way they can see the old one is expired.
