I have applied for I-130 for my parents and send all the paper but i noticed that my naturalization certificate was not signed by me. Should i send them another copy as an addition that is signed or wait till they send a notice for further evidence or sth?
It makes no difference at this point. Wait for a decision to approve, request additional evidence or deny.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
More facts are needed. Please be more specific.

It is certainly possible C is approved prior to B or that B is not approved .So you can have multiple petitions simultaneously .

A J1 visa holder can get married to a US citizen, but there are special rules attached to the J visa, as to whether you can adjust status to get your green card, after marrying your girlfriend. It is best to discuss your options with counsel in a phone consultation.
Does my violation will prevent me to get my citizenship or they will punish me in any process in the future? Will they prevent my citizenship?
If a person enters the US legally, and overstays his/her visa and then marries an American citizen, that person can adjust status to obtain a green card, despite the visa overstay. The issue as to "violating your visa" needs more clarification. Call counsel to discuss.
