Answer 3

There is actually not a fixed number but serious questions would be asked by Immigration. A family emergency such as caring for a dying parent etc would be taken into consideration. 90 days is the number best not to exceed.

Answer 4

At least 1/2 of the year. And if you stay out of the country more than six months (specially if you not notify the INS) you could lose your "green card".
