1. Good question

It is 50 state elections so filing deadlines do vary. I would think that any change would have to be this week before she's nominated. Otherwise, it's just too messy.

So, I would guess she stays and they try to gut it out.

the president and vice-president, but simply vote for a slate of electors, it doesn't really matter if there's a change of VP candidate no matter how late in the cycle.
