Can I leave Thailand for a few days to Laos and then return to extend my non-O visa, or do I need to fly out of Thailand?

Tony **********

Assuming you get your 1yr extension in January, you will need to purchase a reentry permit from immigration. No need for visa exempt entry unless you want to invalidate your non-o.

Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a Non-O visa from my home country?

You should be fine at any bank except Bangkok bank. That you're out of the country without a valid visa could be an issue if you are challenged.

Should I apply for a Non-Immigrant Type “O” Retirement visa or a visa exempt with extension for my first trip to Thailand?

Tony **********

Sounds like you're doing an exploratory trip first. Just go with exempt. When you run and have plans for your move, get a non-o through the evisa system. You can then rent a place, open bank account, etc.
