TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can get a re-entry permit for a Non-Immigrant Type O Visa that hasn't been extended to a year yet. As long as you have the correct non-O stamp in your passport, you can be stamped back in with your existing allowed stay date. However, if you applied for the non-O visa within Thailand and haven't received your stamp yet, you technically don't have the visa until the stamp is issued, which could affect your ability to travel.

Make sure you actually have a non-O stamp in your passport. If you got the non-O outside of Thailand you should be fine. If you applied for the non-O inside of Thailand, though, you would not actually be on the non-O until you get your stamp a few weeks after all the paperwork is accepted. In that consideration period you don't actually have a visa, so if you leave your non-O application is forfeited.

Yes. You get stamped back in with your existing “allowed to stay date”
