1) Yes. You need the waiver because you can't adjust status in US. You have to leave and undergo consular processing, which normally would trigger the 10 year ban, for which you need the waiver.
2) Working illegally does not trigger any bans, it will not be a factor when applying for an immigrant visa abroad.
3) Yes, there is no limit as to the amount of immigrant petitions filed on your behalf.

No.
Basically you cannot adjust status in US after living here illegally unless:
1) You entered US legally and are applying to adjust as an immediate relative of a US citizen (spouse of a US citizen, parent of a US citizen over 21, child under 21 of a US citizen).
2) You're covered under 245(i)
To get a green card via other means you'd need to leave US and attend a consular interview, however you leaving would trigger a 10 year ban, for which you need this waiver.
