Need to Change B1/B2 to F1 (Apply for F1)

Hello all, I would like to change B1/B2 to F1.

Two questions:
1. I've been here many times over the past ten or so yrs but only for short periods of time. Never been out of status. If I decide to apply for F1 visa in home country and it gets denied, can my B1/B2 be cancelled also?

2. I can decide to apply to school here and process the paper work for I20 etc here but are the chances higher for getting a change of status in the US than for applying for F1 in home country (I'm already aware of consequences of change of status)?
