Lawful Permanent Resident status is designed to allow foreign nationals the right to live and work in the US as permanent residents.
If you are based in Europe, your residence is in Europe. Unless
you maintain a separate residence in the US, and you have filed US taxes since you were granted LPR status, then you are no longer qualified for that status - you have abandoned it.
Yes, there are specific residency requirements prior to naturalization, above and beyond the residency requirements for acquiring and maintaining LPR status.

Not at all, although if you are called in for an interview or a test, will you be able to make arrangements to be where you have to - there's probably plenty of lead time anyway.
As long as you maintain a permanent address in the U.S., your work schedule shouldn't have any affect on your citizenship application.

If you file for and receive permanent residence-ship the waiting period is three years. I don't think travel would effect it.

Probably not, just apply and pay your fees.
