There are special provisions for short-term work assignments. But, the issue can get complicated. You should discuss this matter with your employer's immigration attorney.

Generally speaking, so long as the previous petition is still valid, one may move back to work pursuant to that H1B petition. (i.e. Work at the location/client indicated in the petition that was approved.)

No, this would not typically impact one's eligibility for EB1(c) in the future.

Ordinarily, an L1A denial would not impact an existing H1B or an EB2 case.

This is a very broad question. In short, to qualify for L1A and then EB1(c), you need to work as a manager or executive for at least 1 year, and then be transferred to a related company in the U.S. as a manager or executive.

For the EB1(c) category, the employer must sponsor. The only EB1 category that allows for self-sponsorship is EB1(a) (extraordinary ability.)

No, not once the suspension of premium processing goes into effect.
