Hi, you probably will be able to be a USC during the waiting time and then upgrade your petition.
1. Since you are a GC holder, your wife must wait for a visa number, please check the Visa Bulletin at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2712.html. For India she and you must wait (if you apply now) probably 5 to 6 years since the date right now is on Dec01.
2. You must file after you got married the I-130 that is petition of an alien relative. You must submitted with the supportive documents. For more information please check www.uscis.gov
3. If she waits for her permanent resident visa through Consular Processing, yes she will be able to work once she comes to the US.
You can make a search in this forum since those questions (especially from India) have been answered over here many times. The first step is to learn the process and read carefully all at www.uscis.gov (US Citizenship and Immigration Services).
Good luck,
