H1B Extension in Progress but Dependent has to go outside US for Vacation

My H1B visa (and my wife's H4) expired in Oct'17 and our extension is in progress in premium mode (it went into RFE and the response will be filed shortly by my company).

Both me and my wife were planning to go for a 4 week vacation outside US.

Can she travel while the extension is in progress, and I can stay back in the US till both our approvals is received, and then join her at a later date, provided both of us undergo stamping before coming back to the US?

Will her or my petition be impacted if she is outside the US?

Also, since I will have a valid i-94 (that will come with my approval notice), and she won't, will that have any impact when we undergo stamping or return back to the US?
