Can a green card holder apply for ESTA for entry?

I moved abroad for my husband's (US citizen) job and did not apply for re-entry permit as we intended to fly back to the US within 6 months to see family. Due to the pandemic we were not able to leave Singapore (denied re-entry for non citizens/PR) and I've been out of the US for 1yr5mo. The US Embassy in Singapore was not able to help with with SB-1. I did not file for abandonment of Green card as I had intention to return.

I'm returning to the US this week and plan to use my green card but am worried about getting denied entry /detained. Would applying for an ESTA as back up for entry help or complicate things on my file?

Any advice would be much appreciated!! TIA 😊🙏

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...
