Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The short answer is that it depends on the felony and whether or not your are deemed inadmissible. I suggest that you, or someone on your behalf, contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

The simple answer to your question I Yes, you might be able to return to the US if you marry a US citizen even if you have been convicted for a felony. But you will need to hire a very experienced immigration attorney who has the time and resources for a difficult case such as yours.

Perhaps. It depends on what felony you were convicted of committing, and if there is a waiver for it.

It depends, if you can qualify for a waiver, if you need one. If you spent all 10 years abroad already, and you do not need a waiver, then the answer is probably yes.
