Consider filing for a change from H to B. If you depart the United States your process may continue and you can return as a permanent resident. There may be other possibilities consider contacting an immigration attorney.

Don't worry, you will have far too many individuals in the "same boat" as you. No such "provision" yet announced by USCIS or DHS. Should not impact your ongoing GC processing.

Normally CBP or USCIS have to issue "Satisfactory Departure" under such circumstances. Easiest to monitor and see when your local CBP Deferred Inspections office will resume receiving individuals again. CBP can issue you such stamp.
