When you use AP, they will usually send you to the secondary inspection room, where you may have a long wait (because that room is sometimes filled with people with first-time immigrants and people with questionable immigration status) and they may ask you a lot of questions.

But if you're lucky, you'll see an empty room and get through in 5 minutes.

However you don't know which situation will apply until you get there, so if you have a connecting flight after your initial landing in the US, make sure you have at least a couple of hours gap before the next flight.

As long as the basis of your AOS is still intact and you never accrued illegal presence beyond six months, there is nothing to worry about.

I never had issues with AP. Its sometimes faster than the long non-immigrant lines at airports.

If you are traveling on AP, along with your USC spouse, you can use the "USC/Residents" line.

i used it twice. once in Bermuda and once in Newark. the bermuda entry was easy. but Newark office put me in the waiting room and that was long wait and very unpleasant. At the end they didnt ask me anything and just stamped my passport and gave it back to me.

No, but they have a Pre-Flight Inspection station that allows flights from Bermua to use US domestic terminals. There are also PFIs in several other Caribbean airports, as well as Shannon Ireland and every major Canadian airport.
