H4 EAD while H4 extension is in progress

My employer filed H1 & H4 extensions together in July 2016.  Later converted my H1 into premium processing in Feb 2017 and it got approved. However, H4 extension is still in process since July 2016.

I would like to know whether H4 EAD can be applied while H4 extension is in process.

If yes, can she travel out of us and come back while H4 EAD is in process?

You cannot apply H-4 EAD using a H-4 extension receipt. The H-4 extension needs to be approved before you file for H-4 EAD.
