2. When will dad need to move out, before he sees a lawyer, before or when she is served, or......?

Your dad doesn't necessarily have to be the person who moves out. He can stay put until a judge decides who is keeping the home, or until he and she agree who is keeping the home, or until the home is sold

4. Dad found a letter where she was seeking advice from a lawyer (friend of the family)about what to expect on splitting the value of the house and mentioned that dad didn't know about her profit sharing. Is he entitled to any of this?

He is entitled to the portion that accrued during the marriage. He needs to inform the attorney that the account exists.
