OPT to F1

My OPT expires in July. I plan to do a full time summer course. When I change over from OPT to F1 (based on I-20) do I have to go out of the country to get the visa stamped ? Or do I have to inform immigration authorities about change of status ?

Is getting an I-20 equal to being on F1 ?

After my summer course I will be changing over to H1 based on an approval. Do I have to go out of the country to get H1 stamped or can I take up the job based on the approval ?
