It partially depends for how long you've been on your green card, I assume at least 4 years, because than you will be able to file for citizenship.
You need to make an info pass appointment with your local immigration office to hear what they think is best to file. since you are not a citizen yet, I am not sure whether you can do it, based on sponsoring your husband. Only they will know the exact answer.

You don't need to change your name due to marriage, you do have to notify INS of your change in marital status. If you have changed your name though, you have to notify Immigration about the name change as well.

Sponsor your husband to come to the US by promising to shoulder his expenses during his stay in America. You need to change your name since you are already married.
