Yes, your husband's earnings can be used on your affidavit of support. Read the instructions for Form I-864 carefully, they explain how to fill out the form if you want USCIS to consider earnings of a member of the sponsor's household.

Yes, you as the petitioner will still be the primary sponsor even if you do not work. Your husband will be able to serve as the sponsor/member of household if his income is sufficient.

You can still petition for your parents even if you don't have a job. However, you are still required to complete and file the necessary I-864 affidavit of support form as a sponsor for your parents. Your husband's income can be included on your I-864, but he will also need to complete and file an I-864A form as a household member.

Yes, you can petition them if you are a USA citizen. Later, when you do the affidavit of support, you will get a co-sponsor or joint sponsor.
