I applied for the I-765 before and was received a working permit and a social security card. I'm currently undocumented but I was able to get the SSC due to Obama's executive order. My wife is a citizen and I'm trying to apply for I-130 and I-485.

You can only adjust status in the US if you entered the US lawfully.

You need to meet with an Immigration attorney. If you had DACA you need to extend it; as for adjustment based on marriage: meet with a lawyer to see if you qualify.

No need to reapply unless your current work card is expiring.

Even though your wife is a citizen, you need to sit down with an immigration attorney to see whether you are eligible to adjust status in the U.S. If you entered without inspection, you will likely have to apply for a waiver and consular process in your home country. If you entered on a visa and overstayed then you can usually file the I-130 and I-485 concurrently. If you are referring to DACA, then you can renew it and get a new work permit. There are facts that could make your situation completely different so I suggest consulting with an experienced immigration attorney.

If you are undocumented and entered without a visa or inspection, you may not be eligible to file for adjustment of status (I-485). I would highly recommend consulting with an immigration attorney before filing. If you were inspected and overstayed your visa, you might be eligible for adjustment but I would still consult an immigration lawyer. You don't want to loose those steep I-485 filing fees.

The answer depends on when your card expires. The bigger question is whether you are adjustment eligible. Were you inspected and admitted or paroled into the U.S.? The answer to that question will determine whether you are adjustment eligible.
