calm down dear. your questions suggest you need a glass of cold water. let me answer them one by one.

1)If your office timings go beyond 10 AM, you either need to come to an understanding with your Principal(in CA Firm) or you need to reach office by 10:00 AM. Either way, you would need to file form 112 with your articleship form. I do't really think you would need LLb after you qualify your CA Final, until you would like to go into practice.

2)If you have registered for LLb, or even if you have your name on rolls in the college register where the LLb course is being conducted, you should file your form 112 to ICAI. But my advise would be to show in the form 112 that your timings of college end before or at 10AM.

See, you need to complete a minimum of 35 hours per week in articleship(if this hasn't changed till yet). Now it is upon you how you would go about it, or take other means like dummy or short hours (which are really not recommended).

3)If you decide not to continue with your LLb, don't file your Form 112 at all. There is no need to cancel the registration as wee(ICAI rules state the opposite, though this goes just between me and you). If ICAI confirms from you about your LLb, tell them via a letter or a letter by your Principal(of CA Firm) that you are now not into the LLb course anymore. I did the same, and had no trouble at all.

4)You get 5 years in a stage of CA(CPT/IPCC/Final). According to your descripttion, it looks that your IPCC registration has not yet expired. So you can go through it.

Regarding conversion into direct entry scheme, you can open this link and see through what sort of documents and other formalities may be required https://resource.cdn.icai.org/27625bos-directca-form.pdf
