Your time starts as soon as the I-94 is stamped. In your case I guess the time you start working for your company.

Only the days while you were physically present in the USA are counted towards your 6 years. If you can prove that you were out of the country , yes those can be added back to your H1.

Usually, stamps on your passports, air plane tickets etc are the proofs.
