I understand that one would need to choose PBS T1 option to book the appointment for HSMP -->Tier1 extn.

You may apply early; would be better if you can also provide genuine reason for early extn; however there's still a risk that caseworker may decide to issue you visa from the decision date rather than current expiry date. If this (visa issued from decision date) does happen this might also mean that...

Yes, it would be treated as initial application and you should have original degree certificate with you as per UKBA guidelines.

I agree with mvent0 that you would be better off not sending payslips (if you are going to send a letter from your employer stating your total gross and net salary amount that you would claim) as it might confuse the caseworker.
