Normally they don't ask for anything other than passport and approval notice. But in general, irrespective of AVR, it is advisable to carry employer letter, LCA, recent paystubs, client letter if applicable etc. You don't have to tell the employer about PR, you can tell them that you are traveling for leisure.

Question - I last entered the U.S. on a valid F1 visa (still valid) but my status has recently changed to H1-B. I know that my [valid] F1 visa doesn't mean anything now. I am assuming that I can travel to Canada to visit family for a few days? If so, what documents do I need? I do have the valid H1-B receipt with dates and the I94, along with my employment documents of course. Appreciate your help!

If you have already scheduled your interview, avr cannot be used to re-enter US.
A person is eligible for automatic visa revalidation provided the following conditions are met:
.......................
The person does not have a pending or rejected application for a new visa. Since it is not possible to renew a non-immigrant visa in the U.S., a person on a non-immigrant visa may travel to a nearby country to apply for a new visa.
