visa renewal queries

1.
Can I apply and appear for a Visa renewal *before* expiry of my current
F1 visa?

Yes you can.

2. If I appear for my Visa
interview *before* my current F1 expires and my renewal is rejected -
will I still be able to return to the United States on my current
unexpired F1 visa?

Or will they somehow
"cancel" or "revoke" my existing F1 visa if the renewal is rejected?

Most probably they'll cancel your remaining visa too.

3. Even if my current visa
is not "revoked" and is valid, will I still be allowed to enter the
country on it? (I understand a visa is not a guarantee of entry).

Yes you can re-enter if u have valid visa and valid F1 status.

4. What influence, if any,
will a rejection on my F1 renewal have on future visa (and other
immigration related) applications?

For future visa its all about documentations and your interview.
