Answer 1

To transfer your H-1B status to another employer, you should file the H-1B extension about 2 months before the status expiration to allow the USCIS Service Center to process your application.  

You can not file a H-1B extension after the status has already expired. Sometimes, USCIS may ask you to submit recent pay stubs to provide the evidence that you have been working until very recently. The longer the gap since last working, the greater the risk that the case may be denied. Another option may be for you to travel abroad, possibly apply for the visa abroad if the earlier visa stamp in the passport had expired, and then reenter U.S.

An H-1B transfer receipt received from the USCIS is confirmation that your H-1B transfer was successfully filed with the USCIS. A certified return receipt of an H-1B transfer issued by any post office branch is also sufficient evidence that your H-1B transfer has been filed.

Answer 2

How will it effect you?  Well, if I were your employer, and you left the company, the first thing I'd do is cancel my sponsorship of your I-140 before it was approved.  I'd let the next guy worry about it.
