A: As a USC you may petition for your foreign national immediate family members with a I-130 for each to initiate a Consular process for their immigration to the United States.

You may submit your change of address so you would receive all official communication without any issues.

A: Yes as a US citizen if over the age of 21, you can sponsor your parents, whether they already are in the United States, or are overseas. They can process for their green cards and you will be able to change your address if you move such that notification of all steps in the process will be sent to the correct address.

A: If your parents are outside of the US, the whole process should take about a year (maybe more, depending on COVID delays) before they are able to come to the US.

If you are petitioning them while they are already in the US, it will take about 6-10 months to receive their green cards.

As the other answers have mentioned, it's no problem at all for you to move during the process, as long as you change your address with USCIS every time you move. That way you won't miss any notices from them.
