Answer 1

1.  You probably have quite awhile since they have your money and will be earning interest on it and collecting a monthly fee.  Is there some reason you can't give them your social security number right now?  They are required by law to obtain it.

2.  They may offer you the chance to pay the monthly fee separately but will certainly take it out of the existing balance if you don't pay them some other way.

3.  Pending means that there are still things that must happen before the account is completely setup.  In this case, one thing for certain is that they are waiting for your social security number, but there could be other things also.
