You can file online, will ask you for attachments - Check Your Eligibility to File Form I-539 Online | USCIS.

No

I-20 will show what is actually needed funds and you attach certified bank statements showing equal or more amount. If you are the sponsor for fees, you need an affidavit stating you will support the financial requirements.

Just US account is okay no need to show offshore accounts. They removed the requirement to prove against dual intention for F1 so no need to show home country ties etc.

Just a generic letter with the reason why you are switching from H4 to F1 ( e.g. I will be aging out so want to request H4 to F1 to continue my further study in the US).

Yes, as a proof of continuous maintaining valid status in the US.

All above.

Affidavit of support and financial statements showing the cash value equal to or exceeding the college fees in I-20.
