You won't get citizenship any faster. If you aren't entitled to it before January, you can't apply for it before then.

If I have understood correctly, one can apply early, but if the application is taken out of pile before the residency time is full, that is a reason for rejection.

Visa is for visiting, Residence Permit for residing.

Yes. The eligibility is decided on the date of processing the application and it's possible to submit the application to the queue whenever one chooses. The associated risk was already explained.

Regardless of when you apply for citizenship, you need to apply for a new residence permit. Your residence permit needs to be valid until the citizenship application is processed.

I agree with Upphew.
