You cannot obtain permanent residency through DACA. DACA only allows you to remain in the U.S. for 2 years without fear of deportation or removal.

You cannot. Daca itself gives only employment authorization and ability to travel.

There is no seamless transition from DACA to residency. You would need to meet with a lawyer like myself to explore the possible alternatives.
