Thanks in advance.
Re: Citizenship and Separation
The first part is up to you.
As for the second, from what you say you are currently married. Once your divorce is final you will be divorced.

Re: Citizenship and Separation
The U.S. will ordinarily recognize the validity of a foreign divorce judgment, where essential elements of due process are observed. If you secretly filed for divorce in India and obtained a judgment without your wife's knowledge, she would likely be able to successfully object to the enforcement of the judgment in the U.S.
