Dont get into trouble
Depends on who you are showing your card to - US or Canadian officials.
When Canadian officials ask you, show them your Canadian card. If you do show them your US Card and if they do a look up on the Canadian system it will reveal that you also have Canadian PR. And they will cancel your Canadian residency. The converse holds true when you are entering US, you should show the US officials your US Card. This is just my opinion.

Maybe multipel citizen is not the same as mutiple residency.

Only one residence is permanent. Like posted earlier, time for you decide which location is your actual permanent residence and stick with that.
Lying could mess up your processes in both countries.

This is simple. The rules for Cdn Landed Immigrant status ALLOW for living outside Canada for long periods without difficuly. The status you get in the other country matters not. May seem strange, but take that up with Immig Canada. they will NOT take your card away unless they can show that you have been out of Canada continualluy for 3 years.
The US GC does not allow for such leniency. So, while you MUST use your US GC to enter US, you *can* and *should* use your PR card to go to Canada, but are not required to. If you are going to canada to work, then of course you would show your PR card.

I already answered your first question.
As to applying for citizenship, you must be living in canada at the time you do this. You should have come to a decision in december before leaving.
