Hmmmn, let's be honest here: are you truly trying to get 'justice' for this child like you're claiming or is this an attempt at getting even with the lady because she left/broke up with? What is your relationship with the child in question? How old is the child? Who has always had custody of the child? How do you know she left the child's information off her forms?
How is her green card being revoked and her eventual deportation 'justice' for the child? If indeed she abandoned the child, and she ends up getting deported, you cannot force her to provide 'parental care' upon her return. And that's definitely no justice for anyone - more like the vengeful act of a scorned lover.

That quote is actually partly wrong and misleading - it shouldn't be used as a reference.
The end of the FY has no bearing on when a DV based IV must be used. The visa only has to be ISSUED before the end of the applicable FY. The visa can be used months after the applicable FY has ended as long as the visa itself hasn't expired.

If by submit application you mean send the AOS package to the Chicago lockbox, you can't do that before your number is current. As for the other bit, I don't know enough about that. Hoping @sm1smom drops by as she knows about that stuff... From what I know you technically can't renew your F1 non-immigrant visa again, as by submitting your DS260 you have indicated intent to immigrate; and you are not supposed to enter on a F1 with intent to adjust status. I'm not sure if there are ways around this.

If you husband gets his GC, you will no longer be able to keep your H4 status since that is dependent on him being on H1B.
If you get your GC with your husband, your DV based GC will be completely independent of your husband's, you do not have to stay married a minute longer after that if you do not wish to. It's different from the marriage based GC which your husband's friend talked about. That is a conditional GC requiring the couple to remain married for at least 2 years before the conditions can be lifted.

The DV AOS interview will require both of you to attend the interview together, most of the questions will be directed at him, they may ask you one or two questions in addition to verbally asking you about the Yes/No questions you've already answered on your I-485. The easiest and fastest way for you to get your GC is through your husband's DV selection, so my guess is it would be in your best interest to try and work things out with him for a while. If the IO gets any hint about you guys being in the process of filing for a divorce, I doubt your petition will be approved.

The response is 'it's irrelevant, regardless of whatever question you're asked at the time of the interview, stick to the truth, simple"!

1. Answer "No" - you have no A-#, the alien registration number is not your I-94 number.
2. The jury is still out as to what is actually refered to as the Visa number. Some are of the opinion that the Visa number is the red number displayed towards the bottom of the visa as depicted in the following link:

While some are of the opinion that the Control Number is what is required. Either way, you should be fine with whichever number you end up using.
3. You may want to select "Yes" to ensure you're sent a new SS card without the "DHS work restriction" listed on the card. Of course if you select 'No', you can always walk into the nearest SSA building once you become a LPR and request for a new card without the DHS restriction to be issued. Either way, you will still have your old SSN (which is for life), so you decide which is easier for you.

You may not be able to get back into the US on your F1 visa if you leave after submitting DS-260 which is you outrightly declaring your immigration intent. F1 visa is not a dual intent visa, requesting to be let back into the US on that visa is telling them at the POE that you have no immigrant intent.

I'm sorry to say, but there's nothing special in your case. There have been so many other selectees in the past who practically lived their entire lives in the US, when they opted to process CP, they went through the same route of doing medical exams from the applicable panel doctor responsible for the countries where their CP took place. Allowance has been made for selectees already in the US (regardless of how long they've lived there) who feel everything about them has always been in the US to do AOS. Every year, DV AOS has always been pushed ahead of all other AOS applicants. How much more should they bend the rules to accommodate people and their 'special' situation or circumstance?
One of the reasons they insist on people doing medical exams from panel doctors responsible for the home country where CP is taking place is to guard against fraudulent practice. Most panel doctors are required to directly send the results of the medical exam to the embassy, it's not given to the applicant. This makes it easier for the embassies to verify the source of the medical exam because they're already familiar with the panel doctor. They do not have to spend countless hours trying to verify the authenticity of medical exams from panel doctors or civil surgeons not under their jurisdiction. For AOS, civil surgeons are required to hand over the medical exam to the applicant in a sealed envelope. AOSers mail the medical exams with their I-485 package. If selectees based in the US are allowed to do medical exam in the US, how is this supposed to get to the embassy for CP? Give it to the applicant to mail in and the embassy staff spend additional hours trying to verify the authenticity of the medical exam?
Anyway, like Sussie posted, good luck with calling KCC and trying to get them to reason with your logic. KCC by the way is manned by contract staff, at least those who respond to phone calls and email messages, (just like the 1st level officers who answer the phone at USCIS) .They have absolutely no power to do anything or give information that is not on a scripted sheet/manual they use in responding to enquiries.
