you can either put the work start date in near future or the day after your current visa expires. As you will be working for the same employer it would be sensible to have your TIER 2 work start date right after your current VISA expires. However, few may want to switch into tier 2 as soon as ...

Im afraid you cannot switch from PSW Dependant to TIER 2 general within UK. You have to apply from outside UK.

And once you are outside UK you need to fulfill RLMT and Restricted CoS.

The rule you have mentioned is valid. However, in your case, as you are switching from PSW to Tier 2 General you do not need to satisfy RLMT. Therefore, you do not have to worry about job being advertised. You should be paid the salary as per the new SOC code from the work start date you mention in ...

If your visa application is successful, the date you give on your CoS is the start date of your work. Now UKBA expects ...

Married – a person legally married in the United Kingdom or outside the United Kingdom;

There is no time limit mentioned by UKBA to have lived together, when you apply as Married. Because you are legally married. As long as you have a Original Marriage certificate its fine.
