You can travel within the US even without DACA since traveling within the US does not require any immigration documentation.

The DACA reference to work related is about leaving the US for travel. To travel in the US, you should be fine. You want to have your unexpired government issued photo ID.

Yes. Once you have been granted deferred action, you have legal status within the US and can travel to Chicago. However, do not travel abroad until you have applied for and been granted advance parole by USCIS.
