Can I study in the US on a student visa after visiting on an ESTA?

I'm planning on studying in the US starting this spring semester and I am currently in the process of getting everything in order for the student visa but I don't have an interview scheduled yet. I do plan on visiting the US before my program starts just to already get used to the environment and to learn my way around the place, I'm planning on doing this on an ESTA for as long as I can (hopefully the full three months if that's possible). I'm wondering if that's gonna raise any suspicion or issues on getting the visa? Because there will probably only be a month and a half between me getting back from the US and my program starting in the US, I really hope that's not a problem for my student visa getting approved.

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...
