Answers to you questions:
1. You probably got your J-1 visa in another country but not China, but your spouse and child applied in China and their j-2 visa were issued in China, so they were subject to 2 year homeland residency.
2. You got I-612 in Nov. 2006, but your J-1 was extended after your waiver approved, since you were not subject to two year homeland residency but your spouse and child were, so again, they are subject the rules once more, unless you apply J-1 waiver second time and get approved.
3. Since they are currently subject to two year homeland residency without second J waiver approval, the ISO could not petition H-4 for them concurrently along with your H-1B petion even they wish to do so.
4. Since they are currently subject to two year homeland residency, and no second waiver approval has been issued to them, USCIS will not approve them I-485 petition.
5. Since you have submitted your I-485, if you are currently in H-1B and looking for an extension, you will mostly get it without any hassal. But now you are in J-1, which is not allowed to have intendency of immigration, you most likely get your I-129 approved but have to leave US to apply a H-1B visa in an US consulate.
6. The most trouble issue is, Chinese Consulate only processes waiver application once for one person, it seems you will have trouble to get second waiver for them.
7. Finally, you play game with rules too much but without undestanding them in advance.
wish you lucky.
