TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your marriage visa in Thailand, ensure that you have 400,000 THB in your bank account for at least 2 months prior to your application. Ideally, visit the immigration office 2-4 weeks before your visa expires to allow sufficient processing time, although you can apply on the exact expiration date as the latest option. It is also necessary to keep the funds in your account until your visa extension is finalized.

There is no minimum days to go to immigration office before your current stamp date. You can apply for new extension on the day of your current stamp expiration date at the latest.

15 - 45 days before, depending on the office.

Be aware after you give the application you have to keep the money in the account until you go there again to pick up the visa.

if your account goes under that amount withing the time when your visa is being under considearation, it might not work out. I have always did my best to keep the money in just to simply avoid any crazy problems.

The money needs to be there two months before the date you go to extend it. You better go at least 2 weeks before it expires. Although 3-4 weeks is better...

it depends on your the immigration office. You can go either 30 days before your current stamp expires, or 45 days. You'll have to ask your local immigration office for details.
