I've already changed several addresses without reporting USCIS about that. Does it lower my chances of getting citizenship and what do I need to do now?
Thank you

It won't affect your chance of becoming US citizen. Not reporting change of address may lead to loss of communication from USCIS. That's about it.

Theoretically speaking, you need to be sure it is not only similar in words, but also in appearance and sounds, to any marks used or applied for by other parties. You are right, unless a thorough search is complete, nobody can say for sure.

Florida is no fault state, meaning if the marriage is irretrievably broken, judge may grant a divorce. Filing TPs and work permit should not affect divorce.
I am buying the insignia for a military branch then affixing it to a wooden flag, then selling the flag. The company I am buying the insignia from is licensed to sell them.
