Answer 1

You have no rights and the only thing special about you is you are a convicted felon. You are banned from returning

Answer 2

your father has to be a US citizens BEFORE you were born for you to be eligible.

Since he was not a US citizens before you were born, you are NOT eligible.  

And with a felony on your record, I think you currently have a ban of at least 10 years before you can re-enter. You may even be banned for life from USA.

Answer 3

you have 2 years to go before you can apply but yeah your dad can petition for you.

An alien qualifies for a waiver under INA section 212(h)(1)(A) if the crime the alien committed was committed more than fifteen years before the date of the alien’s application for admission, admitting the alien would not be contrary to the national welfare, and the alien is able to show their rehabilitation. Another waiver is available under INA section 2121(h)(1)(B) if the alien is a spouse, parent, or child of a U.S. citizen or LPR and if denying admission would result in an extreme hardship to the U.S. citizen or LPR. For certain crimes, no waiver is available. These crimes include torture, murder, and conspiracy to commit torture or murder. There is an oddity in the law which makes a waiver for an aggravated felony available for non-LPRs, but not for LPRs. An alien wanting 212(h) relief must demonstrate that they are statutorily eligible and they must establish that they deserve the waiver as a matter of discretion. The discretionary factors used to determine eligibility for section 212(c) relief, are also applied in 212(h) situations.
