F-1 application while H-1B is in process

what is your current visa status?
The answer depends on the current visa status. However it is not advisable to apply for another visa when one is pending. U can always speed up things by spending anotehr extra 1000$ and go for premium processing. Beware that F1 requires strong non immigration intent and frequent switching between visas indicates immigration intent.

I am currently in the change of status mode, i.e. in between the expiration of my OPT and pending process of my H-1B petition.
As you correctly suggested, I could opt for the Prem. Processing by spending $1,000.
While my H-1 is in process, I want to transfer to a new employer (amendment of my petition!), so spending $1,000 for the Premium Processing would speed up this process too, am I right?
