You might want to ask your lawyer, but my guess is no. H1b is employer specific.

I guess you can. 797 used at Port of entry only provides you with i94 validity period and activates 797 period. Still recommend taking lawyer advice on this.

If you entered with new h1b working for old employer is illegal as you don't have anything to prove for i-9. It may bite you back in future ( although chances are low). Keep things clean

Old employer wouldn’t run i9. New employer would

Old employer would not run i9 again but your h1b is not valid with your old remember

Old h1b should be still valid and i94 as well. It feels similar to having 2 h1bs while in process of transfer... feels safe but check with lawyer once
