Obviously yes, because otherwise you would not even get out of the UK.

Just tell them that you want to travel. I know that the phrasing on the home page of the Home Office is rather confusing, but if you read it closely, it says that your application is not affected.

That depends, but in any case it should only be by a few days.

The big question is how you prove your status to get back into the UK. You have this right, it is even stated in the procedures. But you need to prove your status. You need the marriage license, payslips of your husband and his passport or residence certificate. Maybe you can ask the Home Office to send back your marriage license, too.

There is the risk that you have problems entering the UK, especially if you are a visa national, and you are traveling without your husband. You could apply for an EEA family permit, but this has recently become a much more difficult process due to biometrics.

You are lucky. Yes, in theory you would need a visa. However, in reality it makes all the difference. Since you could get into the UK as a tourist, there is no reason to doubt your story when you present yourself as the spouse of an EEA citizen. Presenting a letter from the Home Office and a copy of marriage certificate and the passport and payslips of your spouse should be sufficient.

As I said, they have no reason to send you back, and they are not allowed under EU law either. The worst thing that can reasonably happen is that you are referred to a senior officer, and maybe questioned about your situation. So there could be delay, although it is unlikely. I recall that this is also stated in the casework procedures, but I cannot find them right now.

I think I did find it now in Chapter 2 of the European Casework Instructions. I am almost positive that the text has changed, and it seems that the new phrasing is not really in line with the law (EU and UK). Anyway, as a non-visa national this should not affect you. I would be interested to hear what happens to visa-nationals.
