You can travel internationally while your H1B amendment is still under process at USCIS but it is recommend to NOT travel as re-entry risk is very high.
If your amendment status is approved, denied, or pending while you are outside the USA:
#1 APPROVED Amendment
You will need to get the new physical i797 approval shipped to you to re-enter the USA.
#2 H1B Amendment DENIED
You can re-enter the USA using existing H1B approval and stamp but will have to only work using the non-amended H1B.
#3 Amendment is PENDING
You can re-enter the USA using existing H1B approval and stamp but immigration officer will ask tough questions.
If you want to enter the US to work with old approved H1B and old work location (not new location), then you are fine.
You should be able to enter the US without any issues.
