IRCC has not announced any exceptions to citizenship residency requirements and is very unlikely to, so don't expect the time to count.

New citizenship applications
We’re still accepting new citizenship applications.

Time you’ve lived in Canada (physical presence)
Extra days spent abroad due to COVID-19 will not count as days in Canada. You must still meet the physical presence requirement for your citizenship application.

No.

No, because as a PR, you can still enter Canada, nothing to prevent you from entering here.
