Leaving US - questions about finances

I've spent most of my teenage and adult life in the US and I'm thinking of moving back to my home country as it is a much safer environment with better opportunities. I'm currently on an employment visa and I have decided not to renew it. I'm not sure if this will move be for good as I have a significant other who is a US citizen - but I am preparing to go home for at least a year or two.

Should I leave at least 1 bank account and/or 1 credit card open? I have maybe 5 credit cards in the US, 2 checking accounts and 2 savings accounts. I will likely return to visit a couple times a year, and I'm thinking it could be better to leave some change in a bank account here so I don't get screwed over by exchange rates.

And if I do return, be it for a graduate degree or work or to get married, will I need a new SSN or will I keep the same SSN? If I can keep the same SSN, will I be able to continue investing in stock with a US brokerage if I leave as a small passive investment? I'm thinking small stock investments with Robinhood.

I'm not familiar with the financial aspect of things so I would really appreciate any advice from anyone who's moved away from the US, whether for good or for an extended period of time. Thank you very much!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
