You must be free from immigration time restrictions when you apply for naturalisation. In addition to that, you must have had ILR for 1 year if you apply on your own. If you are applying on grounds of marriage with a British citizen, though, the latter does not apply. See
here and
here.

That is no problem, just submit his last one. You need to prove that you are married to a British citizen. It is no legal requirement for your husband to have an up-to-date passport.

If I read the data right, you:
- have been resident in the UK for 3 years:
check
- have been present in the UK on the day 3 years before the application:
check
- haven't been absent more than 270 days during the 3 years:
check
- haven't been absent more than 90 days during the last year:
check
- will be present on the day HO receives your application:
check
- are free from immigration restrictions on the day HO receives your application:
check
- haven't been in breach of the immigration rules at any stage:
check
- meet the English / good character / sound mind requirements:
check (I just assume that....
)
Ergo, you are good to go from the 11th February on. Good luck!

A British citizen by descent does not naturalise, so there is no naturalisation certificate.
