Your petition would get automatically upgraded from F2B to F1 upon her naturalization. You can also send a letter to the NVC that you wish to remain in F2B and decline the upgrade. It's good in cases where F1 would put you behind.

No. But your age and marital status, as well as legal status of your parent will determine which category you get placed into:
Under 21, unmarried, child of USC: IR
Over 21, unmarried, child of USC: F1
Under 21, unmarried, child of LPR: F2A
Over 21, unmarried, child of LPR: F2B
Any age, married, child of USC: F3
There is no category for married children of LPRs.
So you can be a 50 year old divorced child of an LPR and get petitioned into F2B.
