Currently on I-140 + H1-B - would leaving the country and working elsewhere affect my priority date? Given the time it takes to get my greencard here I'd like to explore opportunities in Europe but don't want to lose the chance to be here since getting back on H1B/I-140 would be really difficult.

No, this would not impact your priority date. Even if you move abroad, you would keep it.

  Can such an employee come back to the US and transfer their H1B to another company or are there restrictions?

    Yes, he or she would not need to get an H-1B through the I-140 employer.

      Will the individual be cap subject if they stay more than 1 year abroad ?
