Some people also have long ago criminal history (some as simple as possession of marijuana, others more offensive). People like to leave their last behind and not have to defend it when it's no longer relevant...

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?

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.

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.
