Response from Антон Владимирович[+++++]
It is necessary, 1 for the American embassy to put a visa in it, or other stamp that you have the right to enter the United States in an ordinary passport they will not put it to you 2 for crossing the state border of Russia without a valid passport You simply Russian border guards will not let anywhere 3 for registration at the place of stay in the Russian embassy or consulate in the USA, So that your passport would not become invalid and you could travel to and from Russia visa-free, although I do not know what DV is - can Americans give you an American passport right away in Russia? Well then to retain your current Russian citizenship - point 3, you still need a Russian passport?

yes
Without a passport they won't let you leave Russia. The only option is if you already have an American or some other passport.
Of course you do. A Russian passport is only valid in Russia.
Yes.
