Really appreciate you helping me!

You're looking at the temporary benefits in question alone,this is actually typical when filing an I-485.
I-485 applicants are allowed to apply for "Advance parole"[What you call a travel permit!] and an EAD.....but that confers nothing other than to work and travel during emergencies outside of the US with a
chance to return,not a guarantee.
Caution:The fact you mentioned your lawyer said that he could appeal your case based on you being here for 10 years indicates to me he clearly doesn't understand potential removal benefits under INA.I haven't seen you mentioned that you're related to an immediate legal permanent resident or US citizen relative whom is a parent,child or spouse in order to even qualify for Cancellation of removal.
Not a problem,just trying to bring clarity to the situation.
