Company B did not file for extension. It is a cap exempt H1B petition.

1, 2 & 3. Though you can work with employer B based on receipt notice it is better to wait for approval. Ask employer B to do premium processing.

You are safe because of the fact that your H-1B with company A ends on 31-Dec-2013 (I think there is a typo in your post of 2014?). So whatever happens to the extension filed by company A will not have any impact on H-1b transfer petition filed by company B.

 

Things would have been drastically different if company B had initiated H-1b transfer after 31-Dec-2013. In that case, "bridge petition" concept would have come in and employer A's petition should have been approved for you to successfully work with employer B after employer B's H-1b petition is approved.
