a) I am a Canadian Citizen. I have a bachelor degree and 12 years experience in the same field. Can I apply for Green Card directly from TN Permit by using EB2 process? Green Card from TN or Green Card from H1b - Which one is safer way to go and will be easier and less time consuming.

b) If prospective employer process my green card - will I be able to work on my current TN Permit at the same time and If I need to renew my TN Permit. Will I get into any trouble?

If I am on H1B visa and working for Company A.
Can I do Corp to Corp business with company B using Canadian Corporation at the same time?
 
I did TN to Green Card 5 years ago. It was easy and much much cheaper than involving an H1-B. After you read the thread that Nelson linked, you should follow all the instructions carefully, and you should be very informed about what constitutes immigrant intent and what does not. I had a self petitioned I-140 EB-1 green card application in processing when i traveled to and return from Canada at one point. The CPB officer initially refused let me re-enter on my TN as the officer thought the active I-140 was immigrant intent. As i knew otherwise, i asked to speak with the supervisor who agreed with me and allowed me to re-enter with my TN. Actually it wasn't just a re-enter, i was requesting a new TN as my old TN was a few weeks short of expiring. The supervisor granted my request without issue. Do not expect all CPB officers to understand the finer points of this type of situation, so you had better be aware of them so you can deal with them as needed.
