If not now, then when? Why bother doing the certification at all? Use it or lose it, IMO. Corporate paralegals have excellent earning potential. You now basically have a formal invitation, what else are you waiting for?
I think it depends on the firm. That said, I know our paralegals have a lot more independence. They also have a lot more respect. And they get a lot better work assignments. The pay and benefits financially are also better. But again I think it depends entirely on your firm.
I think that depends on the years of experience. Some of our LAAs make a much as I do but they have been there years and are pretty much capped out. I’m not. I’d say after 20 years, OP may be close to capping in the current position. If that is the case, I’d go for it.

I’d prefer the lower stress job. Corporate paralegal in biglaw can be very stressful and have bad hours.
