You only need your passport [covering the eligible period, ILR BRP, English test and Life in UK + 2 references. Nothing else is needed].

You should be filling in form AN - MN1 is registration of under 18s .... Once you have applied for naturalisation there's no need to advise change of employment. Employment as such is not a requirement for naturalisation.

If you had to supply proof of English for ILR after 2013 you can use that as evidence - don't think another test is necessary - you select the correct option. You also need the Life in the UK test if you didn't take it then.
In the form its asking for all education details again, and should i upload all education documents again (MBA)
As far as I know the form only asks about English and LITUK, not education in general - see above.

This is not an issue. There are no specific financial requirements for naturalisation (income,taxes/NI,benefits, etc).
You do not need to make voluntary contributions - they are just that, voluntary, if you want to boost your state pension.
