I'll take a crack at 3 of your 4 questions, in the context of your following statement and also in conjunction with Dragon's answers:

Denver Snuffer recommended reading Abraham 3 and 4 to understand the "Adam-God Theory".

1. Michael was one of the noble and great ones.
2. Michael was assigned to create the earth.
3. This leads to a syllogism:
  • Major premise: "the Gods . . . organized and formed the heavens and the earth" (Abr. 4:1).
  • Minor premise: Michael helped organize and form the heavens and the earth.
  • Conclusion: Michael is one of "the Gods".
4. That scripture is not in Abraham 3-4, so I won't address it at this time.

As I've written elsewhere, I don't think things are "all or none."
The scriptures state we are gods. The important part (to me) is to what degree.
I believe the premortal Jehovah was 100% God.
I was probably premortally eking out at around 0.00000001% god.
Whatever level of light Michael had (99%? 100%?), it was high enough for him to be classified in Abr. 4:1 as one of the Gods with a capital "G".
