F1(OPT) -> H1 Question

I am in OPT status (will expire on April 2nd). My company is applying H1B visa for me. Because of the bad economy situation, I am afraid that my H1b application will be rejected. In order to keep
my legal status, I got admission of another program in the same University. Here is my questions.
1. My company will file H1-B application for me this month. If I
apply a new I-20 from the university now (before getting H1B
visa), will the new I-20 will affect my H1B application?

2. Assume that I got rejection notice from INS after my OPT
expiration date, can I still apply new I-20 and keep
legal status?

Thanks a lot!
