2. Can i apply at the same time to become tier 4 dependant of my spouse in country without exiting?

3. Can I continue working as tier 4 dependant .... i know some restrictions on my work will be there.

Thanks in advance

See above. You can apply in the UK, but only after your spouse has obtained Tier 4 leave in their home country and has returned to the UK.

The restrictions are listed in Part 8 of the immigration rules, paragraph 319D(b).
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
