You asked a lot of questions but you left out the most important question.

Will Speaker Boehner allow the Senate Immigration Bill onto the floor of the House for a vote?

The Senate has yet to send the Gang of 8 bill to the House. Why? Because it would be blue slipped and sent back to the Senate to remove appropriation language due to the Origination clause.

The Dems need a Trojan Horse bill from the House so they can attach the Gang of 8 bill to it during conferencing. It wouldn't surprise me if the GOPe tries to get this done prior to the midterms. The pressure from the GOP's corporate paymasters is enormous along with the Chamber of Commerce. It is already rumored that the CoC will endorse Landrieu in the midterms.
