If you file it as COS, then you need to join on Oct 1st. Yes, your end date with previous company should be sep 30th.

You should know this ahead of time and ask employer B to withdraw before the start date to avoid issues, otherwise, you need to exit and re-enter.

No, you need approval as would have now been on H1B automatically…

Yes, you maybe able to do it. Discuss with attorney and plan it out.
