I am still waiting for my passport but based on posts here it seems that you can get a passport in 3-4 weeks if you go for expedited service ($60 extra). Of course if you already have a trip planned and proof to support that, you can go to one of the passport agencies in person and apply for a rush passport that you can get in 2-3 days. You will need to get an appointment with the passport agency before you go there. If you would like to avoid that trip you could use a third party service to get your rush passport (for an additional fee in the $100-200 range). Do also allow some time to get a visa if the country you will be visiting requires one.
If you desperately need to leave the country before you are done with the oath you shouldn't have any problems doing so (using your green card and passport from your country of origin). You just have to mention the trip in your interview or oath. I don't know what stage of the process you are in but you may want to make arrangements to have your mail intercepted while you are away to make sure you don't miss your interview/oath letter. You can make it back into the country in time for the appointment (the letter is usually mailed out at least 2-3 weeks ahead of the appointment) and if that is not possible, call USCIS to have the appointment rescheduled.
