Social Security Administration calculates your earnings based on the highest 35 years of income. So continuing to work part time will not lower your benefit amount. They even include years of zero income in the calculation if there are not 35 years of income recorded.

The best way is to keep your income low and to use tax advantaged ways of investing. The income levels for social security change depending on your marital status. Using single as your status you'll need 85 percent of your social security and taxable income to stay under $11,500. Note that if you have nontaxable interest such as municipal bonds it's added to determine if your social security is taxable. You can get significant saving from qualified dividends, the maximum tax rate is 15 percent, and if you are in the 15 percent or lower tax bracket the dividends are tax free.
Not if you are already receiving Social Security. If you are still in your earning years, your ultimate benefits my reduce as they take the average of your last 40 quarters of earned income (which does not include unemployment benefits) to determine the benefits you receive.
