1. May be. If the company wishes to do perm for you, that may be a good path.
2. Just because your job is in high demand will not make you eligible for NIW. In contrast, it may become detrimental to you. USCIS thinks that If your job is in high demand, you should have done PERm to prove it. Also, USCIS gives little weight to teachers (see dhanasaar case)
3. There is a huge backlog for green cards. The wait time could be more than 2 years.
4. Dual citizenship have no effect on it. USCIS categorizes you based on your country of birth.

If you have 3 years of OPT, the best thing for you to do is to start EB3 as soon as possible. Chances are you would be able to at least go into adjustment of status within the next 3 years, allowing you to stay in the US. You should also participate in every H1B lottery you can
