Is it normal and customary to apply for all three of these documents at the same time? Trying to get this done in the easiest and fastest time possible. Are there other documents that should be done first? TIA.

Absolutely!!!   Send I-130, I-130a, I-1485, I-765, and I-131 all together with supporting evidence.

It is an absolute must. Many people regret not doing it, thinking they won't need it. Apply for all, EAD and Travel Card are free.

What visa did you use to enter the US?  Just checking, as your VJ profile says K1.
