There is no requirement for 2 months prior when applying for a Non O from a visa exempt - unless you use the Jomtien office - they are the only office that seems to require that.

Best to go to your local immigration office and ask for a handout of specific requirements. Varies by office.

These are the specifics for Phuket.

TM87

You do 90 day reporting where your latest TM30 has been filed.

You can if you can meet the requirements. The hard one will be to open a Thai bank account. Almost impossible now on an exempt entry.

At many offices you can apply for another extension but it will be refused and you’ll be given 7 more days to stay. Some will date it from the day you apply, not add them on.

Quite possibly. I know in Phang Nga and Krabi they’ll accept a RC from Phuket. Who knows what other offices will accept.

Closed Monday and Tuesday.

People have done it. The rules technically say you need to be in the country you are applying from for the duration of the application.

As others have said they may ask you for an interview or copies of every page of your passport. If you can’t attend or provide those they may see that you are no longer in the country and can cancel the application.

Your call. You can try. You might get lucky. You might not.
