Apply for MN1 through NCS at the council. You will get to keep all your original documents and you can apply for citizenship and passport jointly at the same time.

Re: Employment gap>90 days in UK

I had my P45 which showed the last day at the previous employer. They counted from that day. Better strategy would have been not to present the P45s unless they asked for it.
